A message from Mr. Ayson, Chief Inspoctor of Fisheries, states that tho salmon ova recently brought by him from California have been hatched out in very good condition at Hakataramea. Some disappointment has been suffered with tho white fish ova, placed at Kunieri.

Some 60 per cent, of tbo eggs went bud in Uansit, and tho rost died as soon as they yjtxe hutched.
