It is requested that the whole mass of viscera may be sent intact with a 

 label attached, stating the weight, and, when possible, the length of the fish, 

 together with the name of the place where it was caught. Such viscera, 

 which should be addressed to Jas. K. Tosh, The Berwick Salmon Fishing Com- 

 pany's Fish-house, Berwick-on-Tweed, may be sent fresh, in stone jars or other 

 receptacles, so long as the cool weather continues. In view of the limited 

 amount which the Fishery Board are able to devote to the investigations in 

 question they would be unable to pay the carriage of any viscera which the 

 District Board were good enough to send them, and it would, therefore, be 

 very obliging, if this outlay could be prepaid. 



Opportunities of marking salmon may occur when collecting their eggs for 

 artificial hatching, or when kelts are present in the river in large numbers. 

 It is, however, particularly requested that care will be taken to entrust the 

 work of fixing the marks on the salmon only to responsible and trustworthy 

 persons. 



I have the honour to be, 



Your obedient Servant, 



WALTER E. ARCHER. 



The Fishery Board for Scotland, 

 1st May 1895.
