Xote. — The pond at Montauk Point is owned by Mr. A. D. Benson and is said to be deep and cold. 

 The pond of Mr. John D. Jones empties into Great South Bay, and the fish can go to salt water if they 

 choose Lake Ronkonkoma is about 60 feet deep in parts and is said to be cool; we have planted 

 whitcfish there. I do not know the character of Mr. Ramsbottom's pond or stream, but think it 

 empties into the Great South Bay.
