 kinds experimented upon could not be taken 

 there alive. On the last occasion I watched 

 with particular attention one trevale, which 

 had a can to itself, but which, with every 

 possible care, died before reaching Coranga- 

 mite. Oysters can, of course, be carried to 

 any distance in safety. Those deposited in 

 the lake were placed in a most favourable spot, 

 on both sides of a ruined stone wall running 

 about half a mile into the water, where the 

 loose stones will afford good holding ground 

 for the spat, should the oysters live and 

 deposit their spawn there. A portion of them 

 were also put in some rocky ground on the 

 west side of the lake. The numbers of fish 

 given are those that were placed alive in the 

 lake out of three lots, details of some of the 

 other trips not being obtainable. A few carp, 

 perch, trout, and Californian salmon I have 

 also placed in some of its tributaries, which 

 may, at some future time, become of value, 

 and it will be most interesting to watch the 

 result.
