" They have now been in my charge a week, and are 

 exceedingly healthy and vigorous. They are a pecu- 

 liar fish, resembling in their habits the burbot, which 

 I have also had charge of here. They hide them- 

 selves by day, and roam about for food at night. I 

 have no doubt that the attempt to introduce them 

 will be thoroughly successful.
