and fed fish? The writer beheves for eggs and fry the less 

 the better, and that older fish should at least have a refuge 

 from sunlight. 



III. May fry or older fish be handled or even touched 

 without danger? The writer suggests that the conditions 

 which will admit of handling are exceptional, and that it is to 

 be avoided as far as practicable. A fc^itunate instance of 

 this exceptional condition is that of salmon at spawning- 

 time, when the skin is so toughened that the fish may be 

 handled without injury. It may be mentioned in passing 

 that tills is not true of the togue (Cristivonicr uainayciish). 



IV. Where and how shall fish be planted? 



On this point the suggestion is ofi"ered that where no local 

 objection exists a stream is the proper place, but that there 

 and elsewhere, scattering is all too liable to be regarded as 

 one of the minor details.
