Ova imported.- S. Fario, 50,000 ; Fonti- 

 nalis, 25,000 ; L. Leven, 75,000 ; S. Salar, 

 25,000; and, in addition, a present of 

 Salmon Ova from His Grace the Duke of 

 Roxburghe. All records of the work 

 done at the hatchery this year are lost. 

 The ova came out in two shipments. One 

 steamer broke part of her machinery, and 

 was detained four days in Lisbon for re- 

 pairs. The ova on board, including all 

 the Salmon, died before reaching Durban. 

 Ova, if carefully packed, arrive in Durban 

 very near the time of hatching, and any 

 delay on the journey is fatal.
