180 APPENDIX. 



By last Mail I conveyed to Messrs. Money 

 Wigram and Co. the thanks of the Government 

 for their great liberality in placing so large an 

 amount of freightage at your disposal ; and should 

 it be in my power to adopt the suggestion con- 

 tained in your letter I shall be glad to do so, but 

 I am not sure that it is feasible. 



To the prompt and valuable assistance of the 

 Acclimatisation Society of Victoria, and the 

 anxiety which the Government of that Colony 

 evinced to promote the success of the experiment 

 by placing their Sloop-of-War at the disposal of 

 the Society for the conveyance of the Ova from 

 Melbourne, we are much indebted for the fortunate 

 result ; and I trust that under the fostering care of 

 Mr. Eamsbottom, and the watchful attention of 

 the Commissioners, we may before long find the 

 waters of the Tasmanian Eivers abounding in this 

 noble fish. 



I have the honor to be. Sir, 



Your very obedient Servant, 



JAMES WHYTE, 

 Colonial Secretai-y of Tasmania. 

 James A. Youl, Esq., 



Waratah House, 



Claphani Park, London.
