For a fuller account of the Salmon experiment I have 

 only to refer to the many interesting papers contained in the 

 Proceedings of this Society contributed by the late Mr. 

 Morton Allport, to whom also the success of the experi- 

 ment in Tasmania is in a large measure due. 



The ova were obtained originally from the following 

 streams in England and Scotland — 



Sahno salar — Ribble and Hodder, Lancashire. 



Severn, Worcestershire. 



Dovey, Wales. 



Tyne, Northumberland. 



Tweed, Scotland. 

 Sahno trutta — Tweed, Scotland. 



Salmofai'w — Itcham and its tributaries, near South- 

 ampton. 



Among those gentlemen who rendered their valuable 

 aid in procuring ova, and in forwarding the success of the 

 various experiments, may be mentioned the following: — 

 Mr. Frank Buckland, Mr. Brady, Mr. Francis Francis, Mr. 

 Ramsbottom (father and son), W. Allies, and Mr. Johnston. 

 In Tasmania we have associated with Mr. Allport the 

 following gentlemen who have specially taken an interest 

 in the introduction of the Salmonidae from the first, viz. : — 

 Sir Robert Officer, Dr. Milligan, Mr. John Buckland, Dr. 

 Agnew, Mr. Curzon Allport, and Mr. Robt. Read, upon 

 whose estate the Salmon Ponds have been constructed. 



Besides the acclimatization of three species of Salmon, to 

 Mr. Morton Allport is mainly due the successful intro- 

 duction to our waters of the following well known Euro- 

 pean fishes : — 



The River Perch Perca JluviatiUs, 



The Common Tench Tinea vulgaris. 



The Crucian Carp Carassins vulgaris. 



The Golden Carp Carassius auratus.
