The eggs transferred from Kittery to Gloucester were packed in 

 tightly sealed jars and surrounded with crushed ice or snow, in charge of 

 a messenger. As a rule they were of excellent quality, and were hatched 

 as heretofore in the McDonald cod box. As the water temperature fell 

 it became necessary to use steam to maintain a temperature of between 

 38° and 40°, which has been found by experiment to be about the same 

 as the temperature of the water on the natural spawning-grounds.
