REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



[4] 



Substantially the same methods continued in use throughout the dis- 

 tribution of 1879-'80 and the spring of 1881. But the system was des- 

 tined to be revolutionized by dispensing, very largely, with attendants, 

 and by reducing the vessels from 10 gallons to 4 quarts capacity. But 

 the experiments which led to these improvements were not undertaken 

 until November, 1881. These have been described elsewhere, and the 

 more recent methods reported upon by Col. M. McDonald.* 



Curp furnished by Dr. Bud. Hessel from the Monument lot panda, crop of ISfcO, for distri-
