Abstract
IN a notice of the Report of the U.S. Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, in NATURE, vol. xix. p. 430, the reviewer refer to the statement in a “memorandum respecting the American salmon and white fish recently introduced in New Zealand by Dr. James Hector”, that “so far as yet observed, the adult fish all die after spawning and never return to the sea”. The reviewer writes: “We shall be glad to have some authoritative statement with regard to the above fact, as without some explanation it seems too extraordinary for belief”.
