## AMERICAN ACCLIMATIZATION SOCIETY.

The regular meeting of the American Acclimatization Society was held last evening in the reading-room of the Aquarium, the use of which had been given for the purpose. Mr. Eugene Schiefflin occupied the chair, and Dr. J. W. Greene acted as Secretary. Among the gentlemen present were Messrs. Robert B. Roosevelt, of the Fish Commission; John C. Pennington, of New-Jersey; Eugene Keteltas, John C. Mills, Edward Schell, S. R. Bunce, Edgar De Puyster, Wilson De Puyster, Mr. Conklin, of the Central Park Museum, and others. Mr. Conklin read a paper on acclimatization, with special reference to birds. He detailed the efforts made in this country to introduce foreign birds. In 1864, he said, the Commissioners of Central Park set free 50 pairs of English sparrows, and they had multiplied amazingly; Mr. Joshua Jones had freed English chaffinches, blackbirds, and Java sparrows in the Park, but unfortunately their numbers were so small the birds were lost sight of; in 1874, Mr. Henry Reiche set loose 50 pairs of English skylarks, but they all crossed the East River, and settled near Newtown and Canarsie. The Cincinnati Acclimatization Society had successfully introduced the skylark there, and it was now becoming abundant in the neighborhood of the city. Last July the Acclimatization Society freed in the Park some starlings and Japanese finches; Mr. John Sutherland had done the same with some English pheasants. It was expected that they would all prosper. Mr. Conklin suggested that renewed and organized efforts should be made to acclimatize the English titmouse, chaffinch, blackbird, robin redbreast, and the skylark—birds which were useful to the farmer and contributed to the beauty of the groves and fields. Mr. Robert Roosevelt read an interesting paper on the acclimatization of fish, in which he pointed out that we had little to do in the way of importing fishes from foreign countries, because there were scarcely any kinds useful as food or otherwise which we had not here in equal if not greater perfection. He showed that our efforts should be mainly directed to distributing the best of our own fishes through all the waters of the continent, and spoke of what had been done in this way with shad and salmon. The Oswego bass, he thought, was deserving of extensive propagation; but particularly spoke of the landlocked salmon of Maine and Canada, and the California brook trout. The latter fish he considered one of the best which swam in American waters, and was convinced that it would well repay the trouble of propagation here.

## _AMERICAN ACOLIMATIZATION SOCIETY._

The regular meeting of the American Ac-
climatization Society was held last evening in the
reading-room of the Aquarium, the use of which had
been given for the purpose. Mr. Eugene Schieffin
occupied the chair, and Dr. J. W. Greene acted as
Secretary. Among the gentlemen present were
Messrs. Robert B. Roosevelt, of the Fish Commis-
sion ; John O. Pennington, of New-Jersey ; Eugene
Keteltas, John C. Mills, Edward Schell, S. R. Bunce,
Edgar De Puyster, Wilson De Puyster, Mr. Conklin,
of the Central Park Museum, and others. Mr.
Conklin read a paper on acclimatization, with special
reference to birds. He detailed the efforts made in
this country to introduce foreign birds. In 1864,
he said, the Commissioners of Central Park
set free 50 pairs of English sparrows,
and they had multiplied amazingly ; Mr. Joshua
Jones had freed English chaffinches, blackbirds, and
Java sparrows in the Park, but unfortunately their
numbers were so small the birds were lost sight of ;
in 1874, Mr. Henry Reiche set loose 50 pairs of
English skylarks, but they all crossed the East
River, and settled near Newtown and Canarsle. The
Cincinnati Acclimatization Society had successfully
introduced the skylark there, and it was now becom-
ing abundant in the neighborhood of the city. Last
July the Acclimatization Society freed in the Park
some starlings and Japanese finches ; Mr. John Suth-
erland had done the same with some English pheas-
ants. It was expected that they would all prosper.
Mr. Conklin suggested that renewed and organized
efforts should be made to acclimatize the English tit-
mouse, chaffinch, blackbird, robin redbreast,
and the skylark-birds which were useful
to the farmer and contributed to the
beauty of the groves and fields. Mr. Robert
Roosevelt read an interesting paper on the acclimati-
zation of fish, in which he pointed out that we had
little to do in the way of importing fishes from for-
cign countries, because there were scarcely any kinds
useful as food or otherwise which we had not here in
equal if not greater perfection. He showed that our
efforts should be mainly directed to distributing the
best of our own fishes through all the waters of the
continent, and spoke of what had been done in this
way with shad and salmon. The Oswego bass, he
thought, was deserving of extensive propagation ;
but particularly spoke of the landlocked salmon of
Maline and Canada, and the California brook trout.
The latter fish he considered one of the best which
swam in American waters, and was convinced that
it would well repay the trouble of propagation here.

AMERICAN ACOLIMATIZATION SOCIETY.
The regular meeting of the American Ac-
climatization Society was held last evening in the
reading-room of the Aquarium, the use of which had
been given for the purpose. Mr. Eugene Schiefflin
occupied the chair, and Dr. J. W. Greene acted as
Secretary. Among the gentlemen present were
Messrs. Robert B. Roosevelt, of the Fish Commis-
sion; John C. Pennington, of New Jersey; Eugene
Ketelton, John C. Mills, Edward Schell, S. R. Bunce,
Edgar De Puyster, Wilson De Puyster, Mr. Conklin,
of the Central Park Museum, and others. Mr.
Conklin read a paper on acclimatization, with special
reference to birds. He detailed the efforts made in
this country to introduce foreign birds. In 1864,
he said, the Commissioners of Central Park
set free 50 pairs of English sparrows,
and they had multiplied amazingly; Mr. Joshu-
Jones had freed English chaffinches, blackbirds, and
Java sparrows in the Park, but unfortunately their
numbers were so small the birds were lost sight of;
in 1874, Mr. Henry Reiche set loose 50 pairs of
English skylarks, but they all crossed the East
River, and settled near Newtown and Canarsie. The
Clincnatti Acclimatization Society had successfully
introduced the skylark there, and it was now becoming
abundant in the neighborhood of the city. Last
July the Acclimatization Society freed in the Park
some starlings and Japanese finches; Mr. John Suth-
erland had done the same with some English pheas-
ants. It was expected that they would all prosper.
Mr. Conklin suggested that renewed and organized
efforts should be made to acclimatize the English tit-
mouse, chaffinch, blackbird, robin redbreast,
and the skylark—birds which were useful
to the farmer and contributed to the
beauty of the groves and fields. Mr. Robert
Roosevelt read an interesting paper on the acclimat-
ization of fish, in which he pointed out that we had
little to do in the way of importing fishes from for-
cign countries, because there were scarcely any kinds
useful as food or otherwise which we had not here in
equal if not greater perfection. He showed that our
efforts should be mainly directed to distributing the
best of our own fishes through all the waters of the
continent, and spoke of what had been done in this
way with shad and salmon. The Oswego bass, he
thought, was deserving of extensive propagation;
but particularly spoke of the landlocked salmon of
Maine and Canada, and the California brook trout.
The latter fish he considered one of the best which
swam in American waters, and was convinced that
it would well repay the trouble of propagation here.
