About 10,000,000 fertüized eggs have been forwarded in all. The experiments have been very successful, and it is thought that the best and cheapest manner of propagating the od has at last been arrived at. The lirst effort to attain this result in codhatching was made at Gloucester, Mass.. in 1879, when it was found necessary to transport all of the hatching apparatus to that place. The most successf ui experiment was the one which has just been completed - the transportation of the eggs of the fish from New York to the District of Columbia, where they are hatched out and turned intothe waters of the Chesapeake.
