ACKNOWLEDGMENT 

 This survey was made possible by the cooperation of personnel 

 in the Branches of Fish Hatcheries and Fishery Management Services, 

 with assistance from other biologists of the Bureau. In all, more 

 than 100 people participated, in addition to the 1,000 pond owners 

 who gave the information upon which conclusions are based. Repre- 

 sentatives of the Soil Conservation Service assisted in locating 

 the ponds and in contacting some of the pond owners. The returns 

 were tabulated by the Washington office of the Branch of Fish 

 Hatcheries. Without full cooperation, the job could not have 

 been done. Any credit for the survey is due to all those who 

 participated in it.
