Further notes on the salmon experiment

The Fellows of the Society may remember that since the capture of the female grilse at Bridgewater in December, 1878, and which fish I shall in this paper refer to as "the first grilse," a male specimen of nearly the same size and weight, and which I shall refer to as "the second grilse," was caught in the lower Derwent. The second grilse was, in January last, forwarded to Dr. Gunther, of the British Museum, for examination, and in reference to it I received by last mail from Dr. Gunther the following remarks: — "The most important specimen is that described in your letter as a migratory sahnon, weighing three pounds, taken in the salt water of the Derwent estuary."
