We have <irou])e(l streams into three classes aecordiii<i' to the 

 natural food sui)i)ly, and into three other classes according- to the 

 ])ool conditions, and it is not then difficult to calculate the number 

 of fish to be ])lanted under the different combinations. 



The following- table has been i)repared from these calculations. 

 It indicates the number of fingerlino-s per mile of stream to be 

 ])lanted in sti'eams of various widths and under the different com- 

 binations of food and i)Ool conditions. The letters A, B and C 

 represent the i)ool conditions in the three classes of streams. The 

 figures after the lettei-s i-epresent the food conditions: 



Table 5. — Stocking Table for Tkout Streams in the Genesee System 



The values given in the stocking- i)olicy lists (Apps. IX-XIII) 

 a('com|)anying the maps refer to 8-incli fingerlings and to advanced 

 fi-y. Ill the table above the values refer to ;^-inch fingerling's only. 

 Ill order to ai)|)ly them to fish of various sizes, multiply the values 

 ill the table by the following:

These values are tentative and subject to i-evision as further 

 investigations reveal the true status of the factors concerned. 



System of Numbering Streams 



I^ecause the number of unnamed streams in the (Jenesee system 

 is very large, it was necessary at the start to adoi)t some plan for 

 their identification on the ina|). The I'ollowing system of number- 

 ing was finally put into use : 



1. Xaiiicd streams directly tributary to the (Jenesee river wvvc 

 not iiuitdx'i-cd. 



"2. riiiiaiiKMl streams directly tributary to the (uMu^see rivei* are 

 designat<'(l by two letters and a imiiiber. The first letter is the 

 initial of the nearest named stream below (down stream) fiowing 

 into the (Jenesee on the same side. The seeond letter is always (i, 

 indicating that it is a direct tributary of the (ienesee river. The 

 number indicates that it is the 1st, '2(\ or ."^d. etc., tributary above 

 the named stream.
