^ 'I Alausa vulgaris. An interesting supplement to Barf urth’s paper on 
the food and habits of Salmon and Trout, in which he showed that 
during spawning-time they entirely discontinue feeding. Observations 
undertaken with respect to the Shad ( ‘ maifische ’) during its sojourn 
in the Rhine, have led to the same result ; the food, moreover, of this 
fish consists mainly of Temora velox^ Lilj., and other marine Entomo- 
straca^ and the writer has found that the eggs taken by Barfurth for 
those of Ascaris are principally those of yTemora^ and the supposed 
encysted nematode embryos, are spermatophores of the same. Max
