The cans which we use for shipping" purposes are something 

 hke this can here (Fig'. 6) ; an ordinary ash l)arrel, and we fit into 

 that a soHd conical top here, aliout the center of the can. A little 

 way up we put in a tin strip. That is done l^ecause occasionally 

 in dipi)ing them a trout will get out on the side, and it is easier to 

 remove them from the tin strip than if it were not there. Around 

 the circumference here are pieces of perforated tin. We fill the 

 can with water and pack ice around the top of it. The ice, as it 

 melts, trickles through the perforated tin. which answers every 

 purpose of a refrio;crator can. with the additional convenience 

 that we can get at our fish without trouble. 1 have been with 

 twenty of those cans on a long journey, taking 1,500 fish to a 

 can, and would like to have an opportunity of going on a long 

 journey with another load, if I can get an order after this meet- 

 ing. 



The President: I would ask first if there are any in(|uiries 

 about his arrangement for keeping the fish over night.-' Any 

 questions about tlic can?
