 that sea, but it is extremely probable that the 

 Califomian salmon would be well suited to 

 the European rivers which debouch into its 

 waters. During the last season 300,000 eggs of 

 this fish were imported by the German Fis- 

 cherei-Verein, and on their arrival 25,000 of 

 them were found to be in good condition. A 

 portion of the fish hatched from these ova 

 were put into the tributaries of the Danube, 

 and the remainder into those of the Shine. 

 There are many rivers and streams falling into 

 the Mediterranean, in France, Italy, Austria, 

 Spain, and Portugal, which might be found 

 well suited to the Califomian salmon, and the 

 attempt to introduce this valuable fish would 

 be well worthy of the attention of the Govern- 

 ments of the countries interested. The Rhone 

 and its tributaries should be especially well 

 suited for this experiment ; also the Po and 

 Adige in Italy, the Ebro and Guadalquiver 

 in Spain, and the Tagus and Guadiana in

 might be obtained.
