On the 20th of November, iS/r, 10,000 trout eggs were packed in sphagnum moss in a common wooden box about a foot square, at Charlestown, N. H.

They had a long passage of eighteen days to Liver- pool, and a considerable journey by rail afterwards from Liverpool to Keswick. At the end of the journey two thirds were found in good condition, although some hatched on the way and died, and the byssus generated by these, and by some of the eggs that were killed during the first part of the trip, made great havoc in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Stone, Livingston, 1836-1912.
