I have examined the lish and seen a membrane partly over the eyes, but I did not think that was the reason why they did not bite. Q. I only want to know whether they are blind in that manner iâA. 't believe they are Idind. Q. Would you undertake to swear th(>y are not blind :'âA. T would not swear so, but the evidence of what 1 have seen convinees me that they are not blind. If you will allow me to explain: We put nets out ami drift with tiiem in tlie bay. A vessel may try with hook and line and luny not catch any, and therefore say the mackerel are blind l)ecause of a membrane partially over their eyes. I have (!ast nets out, and by and by we have seen mackerel rise to the top of tlie water, and have not £:f>t any ; but after it begius to grow dark they run riglit into the nets. By Mr. Foster:
