The United States National museum has
received from Megsrs. Mckesson d Robbins
sponge importers OF New York, an inter
esting contribution, representing the first
successful attempts at sponge cultivation
on the American coast. Ii consists OF only
four specimens, all Of the finest or sleeps
wool variety, which were raised from cut
tings at Key West, Florida, by the agent OF
the above named firm. The localities in
which the sponges were planted we're not
the most favorable for sponge-devel-
opment, and their growth was there.
fore less rapid and perfect TRAN might
otherwise have been tbs case. They
were fastened to the bottom, in q depth OF
two feet aud bali by means OF wires OF
sticks running through them anu allowed
to remain down period OF about six
months before they were taken up. Fully
four months elapsed before they recovered
from the Injury done them in the cutting,
which removes the outer "sllin" along the
edges Of the section, and the actual growth
exhibited w,s for about two months only.
The original height OF each OF the cuttings
was about two inches and hall. One was
planted in a cove or blight where there was
little or no current. and its Increase In eizs
was very slight. The other specimens were
placed In tide-ways, aud have grown from
four to six times their former bulk, which
certainly promises well for the future OF
sponge. propagation. Two hundred and
sixteen specimens in all were planted at
the came date, and, at the last accounts,
those which remained w,ss doi1g finely.
The chief obstacle to the artificial cultiva-
ton OF sponges at Key West arises from the
fact that the spoDge-fshermen invest every
part OF the region where sponges are likely
to grow, and there is no legal protection for
the would be culturists against intruders.
The enactment Of judicious laws bearing
upon this subject by the state OF Florids, or
the granting OF special privileges comforting
the right to occupy certain prescribed areas
Tor the sponge propagation, would I'm
tend to increase the annual pro.
duction Of this important fishery, which
has emsined at q etandstill for several years
past. and mainly because Of the partial ex-
haustion OF several Of the most extensive
areas.
