of the dead tullibees floating at the surface in various parts of the 

 lake. The tullibees seemed to be attacked in the deepest water. 

 It would be highly beneficial if some effective measures were ap- 

 plied for the destruction of these worthless parasites which de- 

 stroy, not only the tullibee, but also black bass and pikeperch in 

 great numbers. 



Land-Locked Salmon 



Two years ago quite a number of land-locked salmon were 

 caught from these waters — we knew of twenty or more averaging 

 in weight better than ten pounds, and the fishermen who landed 

 them could fill a book with the stories they tell of the exciting 

 fights they enjoyed. We are not so well informed as to the results 

 of last year's fishing though some good sized salmon are said to 

 have been caught. These fish were usually caught when deep troll- 

 ing for trout, and some of the largest specimens have been taken on 

 the eastern shore of the lake in the vicinity of the " calf-pen " 

 near Pilot Knob, about the deepest portion of the lake. We have 

 no reports indicating that any have been taken north of the 

 " Narrows." — Extract from letter of E. A. Knight, Secretary, 

 Lake George Association, dated March 30, 1914. 



Beown Trout 



In the fall of 1913 the brood trout at Cold Spring Harbor 

 hatchery yielded their eggs very freely. Some of the fry were 

 feeding on January 13, 1914. 



At the Adirondack station, brown trout eggs were collected from 

 November 1st to November 10th inclusive. 



The first eggs of brown trout at Caledonia hatchery were 

 secured October 27, 1913. 



Rainbow Trout 



Mr. C. H. Putnam, Auburn, N. Y., wrote under date July 

 6, 1914, to Chairman Van Kennen as follows: 



" Last summer we put rainbow fingerlings in several streams, 

 in addition to the native trout, and where no rainbows had pre- 

 viously been planted ; during the past two weeks the writer has 

 done considerable fishing on Dutch Hollow brook and on the
