fragrance try salada strange fish in banff pool banff mystery fish eat mos quito young and likes hot water that the present inhabitants of the hot sulphur pool at banff are gam- bussia affinis the mtsquito-larvae- eating fish is the statement of c hearle dominion entomologist mr hearle visited banff recently and after closely examining the finny cur iosities that have caused so much speculation and been dubbed the banff mystery fish pronounced this verdict the mystery lay in the fact that these fish live and breed water whose temperature is 92 degrees fahr that a noted authority had stated that in his opinion they were japanese guppy particularly as they are similar to the guppy in that they breed like mammals that mr hearle had stated they were gambussia af finis and that he had planted them in the pool in 1918 that government records showed that small fish had t been taken from the pool in 1914 sent to ottawa and labelled cousius plumbeus and also that oldtimers were willing to take oath that they had seen the fish there in as early a year as 1883 thus arose the mystery- cousius plumbeus and gambussia affinis or just plain guppy which mr hearle states that he remembers seeing small native fish swimming around in the sulphur waters when he planted the mosquito destroyers and gives a very plausible and natural ex planation or solution of the mystery great cannibals there is probably no fish with such cannibalistic propensities as the gam bussia therefore what more natural than that these savages dined on the natives and that the oldtimers not knowing about the planting of the newcomers did not suspect that they were looking since 1913 on a new species altogether the mystery is laid everyone is satisfied for there is no doubt that cousius plumbeus vanished by the gambussia affinish route according to mr hearle these fbh will in their native swamps deposit from 20 to 50 fully developed young yet to his great astonishment when he dissected one female taken from the sulphur pool he found she was ready to deposit to less than 220 finny youngsters that these fish should thus breed more prolifical- ry in banff waters than in their native habitat is
