It is fully expected that when the Brunswick and Coburg 
tramway, with a Branch to the Gardens is finished and at work, 
that there will be a large accession of visitors to the Gardens as at 
present there is some little inconvenience in reaching them, especially 
on public holidays. The completion of the Clifton Hill Railway 
line, will, it is hoped also be the means of increasing the numbers 
of visitors as it will not only bring a new district into communication 
with the Gardens, but it will largely increase the number of trains 
from Spencer Street Station. 
The work of Acclimatisation in the past year has been principally 
confined to the distribution of Trout. Sir Samuel Wilson’s agent, 
Mr. Archibald Fisken, was good enough to present the Society with 
the large amount of 18,000 fry, these together with some hatched 
at the Zoological Gardens from Tasmanian ova has enabled the 
Society to distribute 16,000. 
The following is a list of the rivers and creeks stocked last
