The records of the earliest carp distribution are not so comj^lete and 

 accurate as might be desired, and the writer had no personal connection 

 with it. He has gathered up from many sources ■whatever he could 

 bearing upon the subject,andit is presented here in order that a serious 

 gap may not be left uncovered. The work in its incipiency did not give 

 promise to reach the gigantic dimensions of to-day. There was no 

 surety that carp would be acceptable as food-fish, and it was not intended 

 to replace other and better fish, of which there are several kinds. The 

 Commission had no office nor clerical force except two or three men em- 

 ployed in Professor Baird's private residence, and it has been his aim 

 from the start to spend as little money as possible on ofiBce machinery 

 and to get the greatest attainable results in fish culture. Hence the 

 difficulty at this date, four jears removed from the period in question, 

 of reporting fully thereon. The following table is intended as a consol- 

 idation of all attainable data regarding the distribution of carp reared 

 in 1879 and 1880. Reports of the results attained will appear next year. 



Table shmoing by States the final destination, so far as obtainable, oftheoarp distributed by 

 the United States Fish Commission from the crops of 1879 and 1880.
