22 HISTORY OF HOWIETOUN. 



There have been many other successful foreign consignments 

 from the Fishery, some of which will be referred to hereafter. 



I will now describe the general work at the Howietoun 

 Fishery, commencing with obtaining the eggs, and describing the 

 mode of packing, the work in the hatching-house, rearing of year- 

 lings and two-year-olds, the preparation and transplanting of large 

 trout, and the raising and selection of the breeding fish. 



I will then give a short account, year by year, of the construc- 

 tion of the Howietoun Fishery, of fish-culture, and the experi- 

 mental work carried on there ; and conclude by a few chapters 

 giving the principal results of fish-culture at Howietoun, of the 

 experiments, etc.
