Atlantic salmon. — Adult salmon were collected between June 1 and 

 8, 1891, and 267 safely confined in the iuclosure at Dead Brook. For 

 the first time in the history of the station, a steamer was employed in 

 collecting the fish, and the work was so facilitated as to permit of its 

 completion and the inclosing of the fish in eight days. The steamer 

 being able to make daily trips, the necessity of keeping the salmon iu 

 the cars from day to day, as was usual in previous years, was avoided. 



of collection, but a single fish was, lost in transit, and the loss in those 

 confined up to the spawning season was but 42. Of the 225 surviving 

 fish, 137 were females, which yielded 1,203,285 eggs. 



These eggs were placed in the hatchery between October 24 and 

 November 25. They, however, proved to be of inferior quality, and the 

 ratioof impregnation was lower than ever before at this station. To 

 February, 1892, the time of division .and shipment, the losses aggregated 

 331,835, of which probably not less than 250,000 were from lack of 

 impregnation. No clue as to the cause of the trouble was discovered. 

 The remaining eggs, 871,450, were divided between the United States 

 and the Maine fish commissioners on the basis of their respective con- 

 tributions towards the payment for the adult fish, 550,000 being 

 assigned to the former and 321,450 to the latter. 



The Maine Commission subsequently presented to the United States 

 200,000 of the eggs allotted them, thus increasing the share of the 

 United States to 750,000. Of tliese eggs, 300,000 were assigned to the 

 Pennsylvania Fish Commission, 150,000 being sent to each of the 

 hatclu'iies at Corry and Allentown, and 150,000 to the New York Fish 

 Commission, which were sent to their hatchery at Cold Spring Harbor.
