 streams. The work was begun at a large brewery, the 

 cool spring which suited the manufacture of British 

 beer being also adapted for the British fish. Later the 

 work was carried on with great success at the hatchery 

 of the King William's Town Acclimatization Society, 

 six hundred miles from Cape Town. The eggs mainly 

 came from Guildford and Haslemere, and hatched well, 

 tens of thousands of fry being reared. The only doubt 

 is whether the fish which can live as fry in the cool 

 upper waters of these rivers will endure the higher 

 temperature of the lower reaches.
