If the embryo is seen to be thin, light, transparent, and hatches before its time, it will pro- duce a puny, weakly, thin-bodied fish, and a poor eater, which has not five chances in a hundred of grow- ing up.

One sure con- sequence and indication of the presence of fungus is the premature hatching of the egg, before the embryo has become well hardened within the shell. Beware of eggs that promise to hatch too early, for they are very likely to be fungussy ; and out of a thousand fun- gussy eggs it is an even chance if one embryo lives a year.
