side of the box. The ova being placed all over the bottom of the trays the water keeps it in a gentle motion, and any dirt that may be in the water is either passed off with the water or else settles at the bottom of the box, where it remains. Nothing now requires to be done but to take out any of the ova that may die. A week will often elapse without having to do this. As soon as the young fish are hatched out, the envelopes of the eggs commence floating about; the latter must be taken out with a small gauze net. Matters may now be left in statu que for about six weeks, as the fish keep themselves clean by constantly swimming about, and if there is any dirt they rub it through the holes in the bottom of the tray.

The three great advantages pertaining to this plan are: first, the apparatus cannot overflow; secondly, no fish can escape or injure themselves; and thirdly, no dirt can accumulate where the ova or fish are. There is also another great advantage in the system, which is that, as compared with all other plans, it is very economical, simple in construction, and can be adapted anywhere.
