Mather refers ver}^ briefly to salmon diseases, and alludes to the 

 fact that the causes which convert the sjjoradic into the epidemic 

 disease are unknown, and it is doubt fu.l whether pre\enti\e meas- 

 ures adopted are worth their cost.

The maladies named are fungus, treated with salt: consumi)tion, 

 arrested b}^ removal to larger quarters with healthy, growing 

 ]ilants, feeding regularly daily with small earth-worms or beef 

 and fish food alternately ; have active tadpoles and snails in the 

 tank; twitters or itch, caused by a parasite allied to Saprolcgnia. 

 remedied by removing all refuse and adding a few snails and tad- 

 poles until the disease disappears ; bladder complaint, aided by re- 

 moval to a hospital aquarium and reducing the water until it 

 barely covers the top of the dorsal fin ; feed the fish as usual, keep 

 the water pure, place the aquarium in a cool room ; dropsy, helped 

 by using five to ten drops of digitalis in a gallon of water; partial 

 sufi'ocation, cured by placing in large vessels in little water and 

 adding salt to the water.
