238 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



bution. The question of the transportation of lobster fry any great 

 distance is still an unsettled one, as in but few instances lias it been 

 attempted to ship them by rail, and then the trips were comparatively 

 short — namely, from Woods Hole to Cold Spring Harbor, New York; 

 from Woods Hole to Provincetowu and Plymouth, and from Gloucester 

 to Kittery Point. The shipments from Woods Hole have all been very 

 successful, and there seems little doubt that the young lobster will 

 stand transijortation for 24 hours with excellent results.
