. [ §74 ] _ 
After Mr. Tull has caftrated his fifh, they are put 
into the water where they are intended to continue. 
He makes no particular appropriation, neither with 
regard to the ponds into which they are put, nor 
does he give , them any particular nourilhment ; but 
they take their chance m common with other fifh, 
as though they were not caftrated. And he informs 
me further, that if tolerable care is taken, very few 
fif h die of the operation, when performed in the 
manner here defcribed ; though heretofore, when, in- 
ftead of the belly, he made the opening in the lides 
of the fifh, numbers died, from his wounding the 
inteftines, and frequently dividing the ureters. 
I am, with all poffible refped. 
Gentlemen, 
London, Dec. Your moll obedient humble fervant,
