The American Fish Culturists' Association are endeavoring to help him in this great undertaking, and would beg you to send to Professor Agassiz,* for his investigation, any specimens of these varieties that may come within your reach, — alive, if possible ; if not, dead, —and especially to forward to him any new or rare specimens that you may discover. Samples of the winninish, land-locked salmon, and the rarer kinds of the lake trout and sea trout, are particu- larly requested. Further appeal for your co-operation seems unnecessary, as you cannot but feel that no Amer- ican can do too much for Professor Agassiz. All speci- mens should be directed to Profescoi Agassiz, Museum * If the specimens cannot be kept alive, and are small, put them just as they are into a bottle of alcohol and water, and send them. If the specimens are large, treat them thoroughly with a wash of carbolic acid, and express them at once to the Museum, or skin them, without severing the head or tail, and send the skin, head, and tail in the same way, or 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.
