mcn1y called, were carefully removed from the
fishes, and a portion Of each one counted,
and from this count an estimate was made as
" the Number Of eggs contained In each flsh.
! The ovaries 0f one of tfle fish weighed 1881
grains, and Averaged 520 eggs 10 19 grains
Hence we infer this fish contained ab6nt 1oo. :
ole eggs, BY : miahap We were not able 10
determine the number Of eggs In the ovariss
Of the other fish.
| From the above we sec that II ono er9 ii
Thousand Matched; single shad would pro-
dude 1856 yctue; or n one Id i hundred Is
Matched, the yield 81 yodng would be 1909.
From the above we may draw an inference
as to the small number Of eggs that oscar
the mouths of the little fish.
There may be some who doubt that tho
small fishes eat tho eggs Of tie larger
ones, but such doubt can be entertaitied
only BY those who are not accustomed to OBJ
serve the habits Of the inny tribe. Egg-eat-
ing is a common practice among all fishes;
and some species eat their own eggs almost
as readily as they do those Of another. 9th
ers again, seem to depend for treir food
largely upon the eggs of the larger kinds.
But the Sirad must not be accused of eating
her own young.
