Now, it ia of course just as easy to commingle, in the manner here- tofore described, the melt and roe of two distinct variotios, as of the same species ; and the consequences of such an admixture would excite the attention of the whole scientific world. Anywhere in the northern and north-eastern part of the State of New Vork, anywhere in the northern parts of New Hampshire, Ver- mont, or Maine, it would bo the easiest thing in the world to procure the common Lake Trout, Salmo Confinis, if not alive, at least within a few hours after his capture, and the common Brook Trout, dead or alive, in any desirable quantities. There is little if any difference in the spawning period of these two Salmonidce, so that it would require very little pains or attention to procure the males and females under the circumstances proper for the making of sucli an experiment, which might bo performed precisely as I have described it above ; trying, in diflForent instances, the males and females of the two species altornatoly. There are thousands and tons of thousands of little tumbling trans- parent rills, throughout that country—scarcely a farm without a dozon such—which have numerous natural basins in their courses, each of which, with the aid of a few hours' work employed in raising a timber dam, and applying a grate at the entrance and egress of the strea
