SALMON HATCHING ON m'clOUD RIVER, CALIFORNIA, 1877. 805 



Mr. Myron Green and Mr. Kirby B. Pratt, acting under my instruc- 

 tions, carried on the work at the McCloud Kiver during my absence in 

 Oregon, and deserve great credit for the faithful and efficient manner 

 in which they executed their hibors, and also for the very successful 

 results which were accomplished. 



It is worth noticing in the table of applications for 1877, and at the 

 same time it reflects ver;^ creditably upon the usefulness of the United 

 States station of the McCloud River, that although upward of 30,000,000 

 salmon eggs have been distributed from there, the demand still very 

 much exceeds the supply.
