 inence, a number of government men, and many citizens and others from the 

 region. 



The equipment of the station as regards boats is shown in Fig. 10. A gaso- 

 line launch and a row-boat, besides the canvas boat, offer abundant facilities so 

 far for all who have attended, and for those having charge of the work. In addi- 

 tion to these, the launch shown in the illustration to the rear may be chartered at 

 any time, and will carry several tons, being o'J feet beam. The pump, net, hose, 



sounding apparatus, and life pre- 

 servers have been put out to dry. 

 These boats are in the harbor 

 shown in Fig. 7, being just below 

 the windmill in that picture. 



By means of these boats con- 

 siderable work has been done on 

 the lake. Soundings have been 

 taken in many places, and pump 

 ings made from various depths. 

 The row-boat is also taken in 

 wagon to the smaller ponds ad- 

 jacent to the station, and thus 

 renders the work there effective. 

 The location of the station is ideal in many respects. No one may hope for 

 much interest to be taken in such work by the younger element, to whom we 

 must look for future work, without making ample provision for recreation, so as
