who were engaged in or took an interest in the 

 work of Pisciculture throughout Great Britain, to 

 assist in the great experiment then in hand. 



That appeal was successful, and was responded 

 to in the most liberal and generous manner by 

 noblemen, gentlemen, and others, both in England 

 and Scotland. Through their kind assistarice, and 

 the zeal and activity displayed by the agents em- 

 ployed by Mr. Youl, amongst whomMr.Eamsbottom 

 of Clitheroe, our Superintendent Mr. William Eams- 

 bottom, and his brother Mr. Eestab Eamsbottom, 

 greatly distinguished themselves, the requisite 

 supply of Ova, exceeding 100,000 in number, with 

 several thousands of Trout Ova, were ultimately 

 obtained. 



In spite, however, of all the energy and activity 

 that had been displayed, these Ova did not reach 

 London until the 18th of January ; nor could it 

 have been possible to have shipped them all and 

 completed the arrangements in the Ice-house, had 

 not Messrs. Money Wigram & Sons given a further 

 proof of their generosity by detaining the Norfolk for 

 one whole day after she was quite ready to set sail. 



The history of this anxious part of the under- 

 taking is BO well given in Mr. Youl's letters to the 

 Times, dated the 6th, 12th, and 21st of January 

 last, that the Commissioners append them entire 

 to their Eeport.
