In various fields the agents of the Bureau and the different States 
have joined forces in the collection of eggs. The States, on their 
part, have facilitated the fish-cultural work of the Bureau, and an 
excellent cooperative spirit prevails throughout the country. Espe- 
cially helpful during the fiscal year 1918 was the assistance rendered 
by the fishery officials of the States of Vermont, New York, Michigan, 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Utah, Washington, 
and Oregon. Before supplying to individuals or organizations 
fishes not indigenous to given States, the Bureau takes the precaution 
of referring the applications to the State officials and securing their 
approval. 
An assignment of sockeye-salmon eggs was made from Alaska to 
British Columbia, with the intention of having the resulting, young 
planted in the Fraser River. The shipment arrived in bad condi- 
tion, and only comparatively few young were produced. Limited 
consignments of chinook-salmon and rainbow-trout eggs were made 
to Japan, and small numbers of black bass and yellow perch were 
sent to Mexico. At the request of the authorities of the Canal Zone, 
7,875 fingerling black bass, carp, catfish, and sunfish were planted in 
Gatun Lake. The details of the foreign shipments are as follows:
