SALMON TO AUSTRALIA. 185 



As the reader probably is aware, great 

 efforts have been made to transport salmon 

 to Australia, and the Australian Government 

 has voted large sums of money for this pur- 

 pose. I believe the key to success has been 

 discovered at last : it is " freezing the ova." 

 By the kindness of Mr. Youl, who has the 

 management of the experiments, I have been 

 able to assist in these experiments, which are 

 so important and promise so great results, 

 that I have given them in detail and in con- 

 secutive form in the Appendix, for the benefit 

 of future observers. This is the question of 

 the day in the transport of useful fish for 

 long distances.
