Table VII. — Ohservations on temperature of water in the west hranch of the Little Andros- 

 cogyin Eiver, at ]s:orway, Me., made by A. B. Crockett. 



[The place where the observations were niarto was about one-pighth of a niilo from the falls, in water 

 eiglit to ton feet deep, being the deepest to be found. The bottomteniperature was obtained by sinkinjj 

 a can and raising it by a line attached, as in tlio other cases. This stream drains I'ennesseewassee 

 Lake, a body of water of about 200 acres in area, deep and pure, and the place of observation was some 

 distance below the outlet, but before reaching that point the water passed through numerous mill- 

 wheels.] 



Taijle VIII. — Statement of snhnon bought alive at Bucksport in 1872. 



[The weights recorded in this statement were obtained, not hy actual measurement, but by judgment 

 at sight, a method which is liable to error, but when passed by an experienced per.son generally comes 

 very near the true weight. In the tliird column are given the initials of the persons wlio riiinished the 

 salmon. The number of weirs controlled by each person varied largcOy, J. A. W. having the salmon 

 from only two, J. W". from four or five times as many. .J. A. W.'s salmon were brought only from the 

 northern part of Orphan Island, a distance of less than half a mile; A.'s from three miles down the 

 river; J. W.'s from points still farther down, distant about four miles; still farther, about live miles 

 from Bucksport, aiouinl tlic south end of Orphan Island, were the weirs that furnished A. H. W.'s salm- 

 on. The number broi\ght each time generally included the ciitch of all the tides that had intervened 

 since the last delivery rccoided — commonly two tides, sometimes one, sometimes three or more.]
