The apparatus represented herewith is a new invention of Mr. Seth Green. It consists of a simple wooden box, of a convenient size to be carried in the hand by means of the handle above. Its joints are covered with tin. Inside are numerous small trays made of wood, covered below with canton flannel. The upper tray, shown in the foreground, is provided with a hinged cover of the same materials. The spawn is placed upon the bottom of the trays, together with moss or seaweed, and kept moist. The temperature of the room may be so regulated that the spawn can be batched in from 50 to 150 days. Brook-trout, salmon trout, white-fish, and salmon-eggs have been transported with success, over long journeys, by this means.
