Tho discovery of practical methods and ef- ficient apparatus for hatching the floating eggs of cod, mackerel and other salt water species is problem which has engaged the attention of the commissioner of fisheries since 287, and has taxed in vain the skill and ingenuity of his corps of trained experts. The investiga tions, prosecuted with inadequate facilities and under every disadvantage, gave no tmmediate ‘of evident fruit, and the winter of 1885-6 found the important "problem stiit unsolved. The | completion of the Woods Holl station, Mass., with alt its factitiies and appointments for fixh- cultural work, gave to the experts opportuni- ties, not before afforded, which they. were prompt to take advantage of. The conditions ‘of success were quickly determined, workin; forms of ap) lus devised and the Ppipcties fish-cultural work of the Woods Holl station happily inaugurated by a splendid success in cod hatchiny ;, Which is to be attributed mainly ww the completeness of the appointments and facilities tor such work now afforded by the station, We are informed that itis the imme- diate intention of Professor Bair eommis- sioner, to carry out his long chert plan of attempting the acclimatization and localize- tion of the cod fish in the Gulf of Mexico. The question of transporting salt water species is a hovel one, and necessitates experlnental work to settle the conditions of safe transportation. These experiments are. now in proeress.
