Account of the recent successful introduction of the salmon ova to Tasmania

At the request of Mr, William Ramsbottom, I have now the pleasure of giving to the Fellows of the Royal Society, a detailed account of the recent successful introduction of salmon ova to our waters, but before doing so, I wish to call attention to the fact that the Council and Fellows of this Society were the first to recognise the vast importance of this undertaking to the best interests of Tasmania, and to take practical measures to ensure its success.
