Abstract
WITH reference to the letters of Prof. Herdman and Mr. W. Wallace as to the commencement of the spawning of the plaice this season, it may be stated that in the Moray Firth plaice were found spawning in the last week of December, and that spawning is not yet completed. The time mentioned is rather earlier than usual for this district, and it is not unlikely that spawning has been accelerated by the mild winter.
