I have frequently had occasion to mention the proofs that you gave me of the identity of the Parr with the Salmon, and to mention my own experiments on the lenses as confirmatory of your opinion that the Parr and the Salmon are one and the same ; Salmon begin spawning as early as September, and continue to do so throughout the winter months ; De- cember, January, and February being the principal ones for that operation.
