182 FISH HATCHING. 



of "The Field/' " Gothenburger," we read 

 thus : 



LIVE SALMON FROM GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN. 



SIR, Two days ago I visited my salmon- 

 breeding ponds, and found the ova in an 

 advanced condition. I brought home a few 

 dozens and placed them in a jar, with the 

 intention of forwarding them to you duly 

 packed in moss. This morning I have found 

 the greatest part already hatched, and, think- 

 ing it might prove of interest to you to see 

 how the experiment turns out, I send you the 

 fry and the ova, to the number of twenty- 

 seven, inclosed in a jar containing water and 

 river weeds. The jar leaves per steamer for 

 Hull this evening, and will be forwarded by 

 rail, so as to reach you on Monday evening
