STONE SALMON BREEDING STATION, M'CLOUD RIVER, 1879. 701 



In closing I beg to recommend that scientific investigations be carried 

 on at the McCloud Biver in connection with the regular fishery work. 



Owing to the long-standing hostility of the Indians in this neighbor- 

 hood, and for various reasons, very little scientific work has ever been 

 done here, and almost every naturalist who visits this region finds some- 

 thing new to science. This circumstance, added to the fact that it is a 

 very interesting region generally, from a scientific point of view, makes 

 it very desirable that in future scientific investigations be connected 

 with the regular work of the United States Fish Commission at this 

 point.
