REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. *25 



panics according to tlic list given in tlie footnote* Tlie special points 

 aslcetl lor were, permission to have the cans containing the young lish 

 transported in the baggage-cars of express trains and to allow such 

 access of the messengers to the same as might be necessary. The pro- 

 vision that no charge was to be made for extra baggage was offered by 

 the comi)anies themselves, and gladly accei)tcd, while an additional 

 privilege was conferred by the Baltimore and Ohio llailroad Company 

 by setting the example of authorizing the stopi)ing of trains at such 

 points on rivers or streams as might be convenient for the proper intro- 

 duction of the tish into the waters. I am veiy hai>py in being able to 

 make public acknowledgment of this very great liberality.
