Introduction of English Salmon. 1 7 



quent attempts, resulted in a complete failure, 

 although some few fish hatched and were 

 carried alive into the tropics. 



The second effort which was made to 

 introduce the salmon into Tasmanian waters, 

 was a shipment by the Beautiful Star, which 

 sailed from London in March, 1862 ; but this 

 attempt was also a total failure. 



In January, 1864, the first successful ship- 

 ment was made by the Norfolk ; in January, 

 1866, that by the Lincolnshire was also 

 partially successful. In January, 1867, a 

 shipment to New Zealand was made by the 

 Celestial Queen ; also, in December, 1868, by 

 the Medora; in January, 1873, by the Oberon; 

 and in January, 1875, by the Timaru, from 

 Glasgow. In January, 1876, a joint shipment 

 was sent by the Durham to New Zealand 

 and Australia, which was partially successful 

 in New Zealand; and in January, 1878, by 

 the Chimborazo, which was also a partial 

 success, some of the fish surviving both in 

 Australia and New Zealand.
