In the observance of the above rule lies the whole science

AFTERNOON SESSION. 
THe PrestipENT: The subject of the hatching and trans- 
porting the spawn of California salmon, as suggested by Mr. 
Stone’s paper, is now under discussion. 
Mr. REEDER: In regard to the subject of dry impregna-

secret. I do not know why it is referred to as the Russian 
method. If the Russians have adopted it, it certainly has 
been sinceits discovery by Mr sareen, but the credit ongin 
discovery belongs to Seth Green; and*+ not to Russian 
SOUTCES.
