Mr. ANNIN moved a vote of thanks to Prof. Goode for his val- 
uable paper. Carried. 
Mr. BLackFrorpD thought it a long needed work which had 
now been done, and would serve as a record. 
Dr. Hupson asked why the ‘‘ McDonald fishway ” alone was 
mentioned when there are many others. 
Pror. GoopeE: All others are merely modifications of existing 
plans which have been in use in other countries, and the record 
of whose invention is lost. The McDonald fishway is a new 
and an original principle. 
Mr. Maruer: If the McDonald fishway works as well as it 
appears to in model, it is bound to be the fishway of the future. 
It looks to be perfect when water is run through a working 
model. 
Mr. BLackFrorD: I would refer to the letter of Mr. Page on 
the introduction of shad into England, and ask if it can be 
done? 
_Pror. Goope: Mr. Mather has had some experience with 
their ocean transportation, and I would call on him. 
Mr. MatuHer: The shad which we took over in 1874 died at 
Southampton from starvation. The full account can be found 
in the reports of the United States Fish Commission. I believe 
that if the eggs could be retarded in their hatching until the 
steamer is five or six days out they might be taken over safely. 
The trouble is that there is no food in the water taken out to 
sea as there is in river water, when we cross our continent. 
Mr. Puitiiprs: How low a temperature would it require to 
keep them for that length of time, and how low a degree can 
the eggs of this summer spawning fish bear?
