numbers than in the previous year, the drop being approximately 5 

 per cent, while a considerable increase in the output of commercial 

 varieties of interior waters brought the total up to a point negUgibly 

 below that for the fiscal year 1931. In the case of the game fishes the 

 size at which they are distributed is probably more significant than 

 the actual number planted. A very sharp drop was in evidence here, 

 the number of fingerlings and adults being 148,619,200, in comparison 

 with over 320,000,000 distributed the previous year. However, the 

 fingerlings actually produced at the hatcheries were approximately 

 the same in number as in the preceding year, the decline in the aggre- 

 gate being traceable to the marked curtailment in the distribution of 

 rescued fishes from the upper Mississippi Kiver overflowed areas. 

 Practically all the forms handled from that source come in the finger- 

 ling category, and a reduction to less than one-third of the previous 

 year's collections was reflected in a drop in the total fingerling output. 

 Of the 49 species distributed 19 showed a decline; the remainder were 

 distributed in moderately increased numbers as compared with the 

 figures of the preceding year.
