Fish Hatchery.- — During the winter the fish 

 hatchery at the Aquarium has been constantly in 

 operation. 



The first eggs received were those of the Pacific 

 Coast humpback salmon ; these 

 were followed by eggs of the 

 lake trout, rainbow trout, and 

 white-fish. 



In the January number of 

 the Bulletin attention was 

 called to the successful feeding 

 of young white-fish on mos- 

 q u i t o larva?. This food 

 proved entirely satisfactory in 

 carrying the fry through the 

 most critical period of in- 

 fancy. These fishes are now 

 nearly one year old and have 

 required no live food since 

 last fall. 



The exhibition tanks now 

 contain fry, yearlings, two- 

 year-olds, and three-year-olds 



of various kinds of trout, sal- 

 mon, and white-fish, all raised 

 in the building from eggs, and 

 the surplus of young fish from 

 the hatchery (over two mil- 

 lions) was turned over to the 

 New York Fish Commission 

 during the past year. 



Bermuda Fishes. — In thi& 

 number will be found five ex- 

 .cellent pictures of Bermuda 

 fishes; the yellow - finned 

 grouper, yellow tail, red hind, 

 ])arrot fish, and hog fish. 



None of these species have 

 hitherto been so successfully 

 photographed at the Aqua- 

 rium. They are all members 

 of the gorgeous tropical col- 

 lection which adds so much 

 color to the exhibits. The 

 accompanying photograph 

 shows the style of tank in 



which they are shipped from Bermuda to New 



York. " 



Large Specimens at the Aquarium. — In addition 

 to the big sea turtles mentioned elsewhere, the 

 Aquarium has sturgeons seven feet long, an alligator 



jl fish.
