journey in wet moss with a protective covering oi dry moss, and sent to 

 Mr. Mather in IsTew York, with the expectation that he would unpack 

 them and repack in another manner. They were, however, sent aboard 

 the steamer Baltic without opening. They reached their destination 

 and were unpacked fifteen days and twenty one hours from the time 

 they were packed up at Grand Lake Stream, and, with the exception of 

 bure twenty-five eggs, they were all in perfect condition. 



The completion of the incubation of these eggs was generally attended 

 with good success. The exceptions are those sent to Wytheville, Va., 

 and Madison, Wis., and possibly the shipment to Iowa, from which 

 nothing definite has been heard. The Wisconsin lot hatched success- 

 fully, but " on about the seventh day after hatching,'' writes Mr. Nevin, 

 the superintendent, '' a white speck began to form on the sack (and, as 

 you know, that is a sure sign of death), and a week after they commenced 

 to die there was not a live fish left in the trough." The death of all those 

 sent to Wytheville also occurred after hatching. 



The details of the planting of the young fish so far as they have been 

 received will be found below, in Table III.
