188 FISH HATCHING. 



what a vast amount of good has been done 

 by the French authorities, and what a great 

 example they show to England, I would men- 

 tion that the fish cultivated are as follows : 



1. Truite commune, 



2. Truite saumonee. 



3. Truite grande cles lacs, 



4. Saumon du Rhin. 



5. Ombre chevalier (Charr). 



6. Ombre commune (Grayling). 



7. Saumon du Danube. 



8. Fera. 



The number of these eggs distributed is 

 something enormous. In the year 1861, the 

 total quantity of eggs of these fish distributed 

 was no less than sixteen million, four hundred 

 and forty thousand, four hundred.* 



* I trust to have the returns of 1863 before I go to press 

 with this little book.
