EGG COLLECTING AT AUXILIARY STATIONS 



In many instances the eggs hatched at the main stations and also 

 at the substations are derived from temporary collecting fields estab- 

 lished for that especial purpose. These field stations are always 

 located as near as possible to the points where egg collections are to 

 be made. In such sections as the Great Lakes and the New England 

 coast regions egg collections are frequently made by means of the 

 bureau's boats.
