The last of the lot did not reach their destination till eleven o'clock the next morning. The water was not changed, but was kept well aerated during the journey. Very few died. A/em.: New tin answers very well to transport fish in, but after it has been standing a long time it should be carefully scoured, as it gathers an oxide which seems to be partly soluble in water, and, at all events, is poisonous to the fish. The young salmon for the Dela- ware River were lost this spring from a similar cause. 2. The same season I sent by express two lots, of 500 trout fry each, to Providence, R. I., about 120 miles, with- out an attendant. They all died on the way. A lot of 500 bass fry sent by express to Framingham, Mass., about 100 miles, with two ch.^.nges of cars, met the same fate. Mem.: It is not safe usually to send live fish without an attendant, at least a part of the way. 3. In the fall of 1868 Mr. Osgood took several yearling trout to the New England Agricultural Fair at New Haven, 157 miles, and exhibited them for several days M llij I, r. ..
