128 Tivciify-niiith Annual Meeting 



Mr. Ravenel: I rise to ask why you say the rainbow trout 

 only spawns once in two years? At our WytheviHe station we 

 have one that has spawned nine successive seasons. We have a 

 record of the fish, its weight and the number of eggs, and I wish 

 to say that our rainbow trout spawn every year. 



The Secretary : I do not claim that it is a general rule for 

 rainbows to spawn only once in two years, but our foreman at 

 Paris states positively that some of our rainbows that have 

 spawned before did not mature any spawn this year.
