I 6 The following are the means propostid to Le employed far multiptying Isl Fish ;by C. 0ut.4.., Member of the fury of • • lnst maim at Rotten: -1" We have already had instances of fish being oonveytd from one river W another, or from a river to a lake, and (vice versa. This method has been employed with success in Germany in regard to the Shad, with which, ponds and pieces_ of stagnant but clear water, with a bottom. Of 'sand and gravel, tire ferred by the Shad to all others, have been peopled. in the year 1779, Dr. Bloch wrote me. from Berlin that this experiment had been attended with corns pleie success. It is not above fifty years ago that Mr. Copland* - conveyed Perch into the. Ken-loch and the river Urr, where they have, thriven re.• markably . well ; as has been the case with the Trout taken from the river Leven ant! deposited in Loch Long, in the County of Renfrew. The Carp,-which is, a fish peculiar to warm climates., has been sue cessively introduced into the rivers and ponds of ,Prussia, Denmark, and England. Linnwits• says . .positively that this fish formerly was not known in SC'veden ; •and in my opinion it is still unknown in Livonia, Unless it has been conveyed thither.within , these few years. The fresh-water .Gouratui in the Is'le of France, where it has multiplied 'prodigiously, -came originally from Bengal. It was M. Poittre, that philosophic Administrator; vho had the hopour of enriching the risers .of this island with a fish which in gookUess and shape may be Compared,to :this Shad- That small fish, ' 'the brilliant sold and silver colours of 'which all - "admire, the'. Chinese Dorado, was brought to Europe from the Northern part of China.. If so much' was done for a useless fish,- valued merely on - account of its shining . robe, by. making it traverse the seas "to embellish, in corn. • pliance with fashion; our halls and our cabinets-, why'. should. yae. .nut do-the same. to ebtain fish useful to -man, .whirls; would recompense our trouoles and our .sacrifices.?..The RotnanS, sated with viClories and triumphs, received from tributary . Asia the rarest species of fish to make a figitre • on, their tables at their. feasts., What the Romans did for the luxury of the iich, let us .do for. the general good, for the utility of the poor e and let uscliStribute ty every river in France the beneficent. germs of a new fe e cundity, which ,will double their prodationa and: their produce.' , • • " Our risers ct. 6 not cit•tt m more than about twenty indigenous species4ed s sonse migratortt fiches, .steltie,:h at certain - OeriOds of the year ascend :I . to a certain distaire from their montlis,or, Bite the Salmon-, swim towards ela4rSources as' far e aithey can. The small jivers 15t s s stitl fewer species the greatest part eeen are, confined to the. Tench, the Trout, Eele r and some smaller fish oflittle.value. 'How advantageous would be to :introduce into these rivers a multitude of foreign fish, which in' these waters would find aliment moreageeeable to - - their taste, and which would enjoy a temperature as - analogous to their wants as favourable to their re. '`produCtion ? " The Seine, which I shall take as an example, nourishes many species of -Saltnon. and Cypeini ; but how e many other , fish :of the same kind, might bepeopagated in it If the Seine .possesses the Sal mon, it wants the Thyniallus, the Umber • Of Au `yetne, the Lavaret, the Morena of - GerMany, the Grilse. of. Scotland,, the Pala of Swisserland, •the Ferra of the lake of Gene valkc. Why should not the Carpi . ° of the Lake di. - GUarda, the Sekscaez riseee (Charri of the lakes of Berchstoldgaclen, an excellent kind of Salmon, highly ptaised by Baron de Moll, a Naturalist of .SaTzbourg,, succeed in . France, if that bottornewhich they are most attach- . ed 'to, were procured for them, at the foot of the Ardennes or the Vosgues ? why tu_iOt they -not . be .afterwards gradually -;introduced in our small rivers ?. Can it be believed that ~the numerous tribe of the Trout, . kind, the white, - red; black, yellow; 'spotted.; the Whirling, charr, Bull, Phin. floe, Par, Spariing,.&c. which swarm in the rivers in Scotland, would -refuse .to ,supply: our Colonies with their species ? . No. , There Can be no doubt that they would bring thither that fecundity, abundance, and riches, -which _ render them so valu. able in their native streams,. ,The case -would be, the same with the il.ssi/e/iss anti, Hug/nigs ofrered . to us by time lakes of, Switzerlisnd the*Gudgeon, the Cyprinus Ballarus,and the SalmteUmbla, bred in the rivers 'of .Lower Germany. Lei us - open, then, \vith these coontries, a pehilosok;hicai and libe_ ral exchmfge of the best fish of France for those o f which:we wish to be possessed. • . " The second method of multtimlying the number 'and quantity of - the natural prod'udions - of rivers, , would be, as already,said, to r convey into the-fresh waters, those fish produced in salt water." - " Fish, originally.protinced in salt water, have vo_ lontarily established themselves in fresh, where they have lost all remembrance of the tumuli - of the waves amidst - which those of their species play anti sport. Several lakes of .Scotland possess Salmon, which, abandoning their erratic taste for a. calm and settled life,;have „there become gradually natuialiZed. The Salmon. of the Rivers Cluden.and Nith, asewell as those of the Dee,. are evidently indigenous, as is 'proved by their external forme The Sturgeon, the Sterlet, and clifferent kinds of Salmon, which Pal las observed it: the Kama, reside there, according to this Naturalist, without interruption, and never descend to the Caspian Sea.. This celebrated travel ler found the Sea-dog in the Lake Baikal, though it is never caught in the -Enissei nor in t he L ower Angora. He seippose, indeed,.that it has been conveyed into that Jake in consequence of some cOn siderable variation in the level of the globe, or' by some other emraordinary event.

In Prussia, it has. been seen, in the .Oder, in the en virons, of Stetten, at the distance of more than ninety - miles from the mouth of that river ; and I have been -often told by the fishers of Mark arid ..Etickhuysen, that the Herring is found in the-River Voilenhoven on the other side of the Zuvder Ze4 especially towards the end of the fishing season. " There is no doubt, then, that these different salt water fish might be easily natiiralized in fresh . Water ; and that the case would be the same in re gard to many other species, if proper care were taken, after their, removal, to bestow on them that attention necessary to ensure success to- the experi ment. We have a proof of this in the ponds of East Friesland.- - The large Plaice, transported thi ther from the NortlkSea, have muitiPlied by my„ riads ; and they now:' - people those pieces of water which before were totally unprOdnaive. While encouraged by those examples, 'is there any reason to doubt of success ? "Has not the industry of Man; seconded by perseverance, obtained resultS far more "astonishing • than those which might be exPetsed ' front' such experiments ? By care and at tentiorOie has heen able to naturalize birds of passage, produced in distant latitudes, 'and which are now . dornestieated.

Rabbit , has forgot. its paternal burrows, the Pigeon and.the•Turtle:dove have deserted the ho s pi ta bl e h o ll ows of 'the oak to inhabit among, us ; .and from this amiable bird, to that superb. animal which shares in the labours of man; how many living beings .have exchanged iheir man_ ners for habits and wants which we have forced theth to adoot-'? Man, the sollereign-of Nature, has 'nor cdnfined hiSdomirdorr: to that which he exer_ cised over animals ; and though the domain of the yegetable kingdom seems placed beyond the of his power, trees and vegetableS of every kind have been subjeacd to' trials and experiments, the success of which seems almost miraculous. Guided by,the spirit,of in v e nt i on , an d en li g h tene d by ge_ nius, art has every where triumphed. What has beendOne, therefore, for the surface of the earth, by colletting in different points vegetables brought from every: part of the globe, and astonished at living together, let us do also for the population of our internal waters. " In the year i 799, I had the lionour of ;teaciing, in one of the Sittings of the National: Institute, a Memoir on the means and advantages of naturalizing the Herring, a salt water fish, in the wa... ters of the. Seine, near its mouth, &c. The account of the processes for accomplishing this end, which I there pointed out, Are not susceptible of analysis, and thereforeovannot be intro&acedinto.this essay ; it will be ,sufficient for me to - say, that the report of Lacepede, - - Cuvier, and tessieri' W.§ entirely in their - favour. At present, I am still , triore con vinced of the . efficacy of the means which I then proposed; and- I have no doubt that, if artificial ponds were formed on the_ edges of Rivers, the ex periment would be attended with complete success. Every man who catches a fish, says Jr. Franklin, draws from the .water a piece of money.' , Let not the maxims and example of this Philosopher be' lost to posterity ; let them' rather produce frait, like strong and v;gorous seed. sown in a fertile Having _observed in -New England, that the Her. rings ascended from the sea into one river of that. Country, while a single individual was never seen in another river, separated, fr_orn tl-.e former by a narrow tongue of land, and which communicated also with the sea, this Philosopher took the leaves of some plants on which the Herrings had dep - osiied their ova, already fecundated, and conveyed them to the river which was deprived of the annual visit 9f these fish. The success of this experiment sur passed his. expectation ; theova were completely productive, and .the following year the river was peopled with a numerous shoal of Herrings, which since that time have continued to frequent it. 46 This fish is not the only, one a hich I wish to see natura4ed in fresh water; to the Herring I should add - Several species of the pluroneaes, such as the Brill, - the .Barbue, and other flat-fisli, which, possesiing traits of the family of the Flounder, have siznitar wants and . habits ; I should add also the Mullet, the Gobyi. the Whiting, the Garfish, and perhaps one or , :two- species of the Qurnet. I ~: vould' pay the_ greatest attention possible-to the nature of water proper -for each species. This happy choice is • the principal condition, and that which cotilden sure success ; but I would select in partiCtifir for this colonization the 'fish found. in lakes, which, ; though little. known, 'are more numerous than is commonly supposed, and ought to be so. • - ..• At the epoch of the grand kevoiutions of the Globe, when a part - oflhe primitive earth emerged from the middle ofthe ocean, and pieces of water were formed without any current, the species of itslies . were variously dispersed. Every lake in Switzer. land and Bavaria, possesses. some species so peed. liar-to it, as not to be found. in any neighbouring lake. Confined within their narrow basins, these insulated species lead a melancholy vegetati've wort Of life, almost exiled from the world. It is there; fore, through a very ,just predilcaion for :these fish, prisoners ,in their lakes, that they should be the first,einployedfor the execution of_my plan. • " This plan; indeed, would he attended with, two advantages, - besides' the increase of provisions, -which Would at length be' the result of The increase in individuals, as in species, would necessarily introduce ceConernical ways of prepara - -, don, to render the use of these fish more general and more extensive. Many of those consumed, fresh, would be salted, pickled, or dried, withsuc . l, cess. The Scots Grilse is exported to distant !' Countries. Salmon, smoaked after the manner or the Livonians, is in great request at Haniburgh, though there are fat Salmon in the Elbe. 'The. Gudgeon would be dried, as is,praaised in the isle_ of Oesel ; the Plake, the 'Brill, and the Sole, a - c- .cording to the Dutch ' method of Katwyk, imitated on the Batiks .of the Volga in drying the. Bream, &c. The Boudelle would be pickled along with ' . 'the Pallas 'say-s, that the' latter is-Very peo: . per for being splaked; _and on this occasion,, he mentions the Maldonan,Tsclionvasches, who dry in the open air such of these fish as they are nor able 'immediately' to cOnsuMe. MI fish of the . Salmon kind, the Spading excepted;, and many of the Genus of the Cyprinus, would be susceptible of different _kindS of preparation, which would give thein' an additional value in Cothnierce. 2d, if society in general, on the one 'hand, gained an crease of provision ; science, on the other, would derive great advantages in regard to ,the improve!. ment of physical knowledge. More species being colletted, they would be less apt to escape the eye of the observer, who would thus be better able to examine every thing interesting in these . animals, in regard to their . organization,•nutrition, plication, and habits, and to whatever constitutes their :harmonies and contrasts.. 'We are little ac.: quainted with the industry of fishes.; they are too far beyond our reach. We do not, hOweven, pre sume, as was said very justly by Bonnet, that all their emplOyment is confined merely to 'eating each other. Let us procure, then, these. fish : it is well known, - that in Gergiany, fish are transported alive 'to a distance of sixty mites and more. Let us place these adoptive species' in convenient ponds, where they will forget their lakes ; where - they, will find their accustomed food, tutelary shelter, and dose aquatic herbs, the shade of which they were fond of in the days of their infancy, and which will in vite thein 'to reproduce in their turn. Hot-beds are formed for vegetables-; let us form a new kind for' fishes.. A moderate sum will be sufficient to enable us to coiled a great many specie.; : and we shall soon be paid with interest, for our expenses and sacrifices. Fishery is the agriculture of the wa 4 ,rs: the fishes them selies will be at the trouble olsow ing the seed, and than will have nothing to do` but to coiled the harvest." EXTRACT FROM A BRI S TOL PAPER. Mr. Entrok—You will greatly serve the Public.- by giving. the following : paragraph a place in your much esteemed Paper : n When man came first ourof the hands of thel great Creator, he is clothed its body *as well as in soul, with immortality and incorruption ; there was then no .place fOr the art of healing.. As he had not sinned, lie could feel no pain, sickness, weakness, or bodily disorders. The ',habitation, wherein 'the angelic mind, the divine,- particula aura abode, although formed out of the dust of the earth, was. liable to no decay: Thexe were no seeciS of corrup. tion within, nor was there any thing without, dis posed to harm this lovely. creature; heaKen land earth, with all their hosts, Were mild, benign, and . friendly to man, before he rebelled against his Maker ; the entire creation was at peace with him as long as he was at peace with his God. But.. since' this once favobred creature left off obeying the hand that-formed 'him, the scene is entirely changed. The incorruptible body (that was) has put on' corruption,. the immortal has put on mortality. V The seeds of . weakness and pain, of sickness and death, are now lodged in his inmost substance, whence many disor ders continually flow without any external violence ; so that without medicine and' proper exercise, to corral and cart./ off the fon , l he gate, tivuuiu SOOII prove his death. But beside all this, every thing around conspire to punish the rebels ; the sun and the moon shed unwholesome influences from above ; the V earth exhales poisonous damps from beneath ; the beasts of thefield, the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, are in a' state:of hostility ; yea, the air itself that surrounds us, is replete with the shafts of death. 'But is there nothing that will lessen these certain evils that more or less befal everyman, woman, Or child, that ever liVed ?—Here we .call your attention to that old saying in Ireland: " God .has su.rely prepared a remedy.for every malady ; but who is the Man that has found it, and what is the..
