From the 18th of October till the camp was closed up, November 30, 

 the time was taken up with hatching the eggs that were left, amounting 

 to 850,000, and placing them in the McCloud Eiver ; in consideration of 

 which, the California commissioners of fisheries contributed a thousand 

 dollars toward the expenses of the campaign. 



COST OF THE EGGS. 



It is so difficult to separate the expenses of shipping the eggs from 

 the general expenses of the season that the exact cost of the eggs when 

 ready for consignment can only be approximated. The expenses of this 

 season's operations were very much augmented by the addition of per- 

 manent improvements, as, for instance, a large tent and several hundred 

 hatching-trays. These improvements ran up the expense of procuring 

 the eggs this season to about $9,000, including the cost of hatching the 

 eggs for the Sacramento, for which the California commissioners paid 

 $1,000. There were five million impregnated eggs obtained, which 

 makes the cost per thousand at the McCloud Eiver, $1.80.
