I have vvitnesseil repeaietlls-, the two winters I have been here, the resuscitation of hnzen trout, pickerel, and perch, on thawing them out in fresh rinuiing water, even alter they had been carried foi- miles. It is only under certain circumstances, however, that they will revive. If caught on a when it is cloudy and freezing hard, and if not hurt with the hook, and they freeze on being thrown on the ice, they will revive on being thawed out. But if allowed to toss about in the sun, on a ci.'ar day. and probably not freeze for an hour or two after they are caught, then they will never revive. It is so common a thing that 1 have only to go back to the last day I was lishing, for an example of it. I went down to Lake Sandford with one of our men, on the 29th ultimo, and at night we carried home in our packs eleven pickerel, all frozen hard, and bent and curved just as they happened to twist themselves before freezing. We put them into a trough of running spring water, and when thawed out found six of them alive. The others had prob- ably been caught in the warmest part of the day, and died befoie they froze. The same day fifteen fine brook trout were brought from Lake Andrew, five miles distant, in a pack, and on being thawed out several of them revived, tiiough T did not notice how many. They are, however, a much more delicate fish than the pickerel or perch, and more easily hurt and killed than either of them. * Compare Embryologie dcs Salmones, C. V
