The Marquis of Normandy to the Earl of Carnarvon.

Wellington, February 1, 1878.

My Lord: I have the honor to inclose a memorandum which I have received from my government, by which you will see that they are anxious to convey the thanks of this colony to the Government of the United States for the very handsome and effective manner in which salmon ova have been shipped to this colony by the Fishery Commission of the United States, under the direction of the chief commissioner, the Hon. Spencer F. Baird.

I venture also to express a hope on my own part that your lordship will see no objection to adopt the course proposed by my government, as I think that the action of the American Government has evinced such a feeling of friendship and generosity towards New Zealand in a matter in which deep interest is taken as to demand a special mark of acknowledgment and thanks on the part of this colony.

I have, &c.,

NORMANDY.
