county, and is therefore tributary to the Schroon river. An- 

 other stream, with the same name, empties into Carr's brook, 

 in the town of Chester, Warren county. 



Cedar river comes from the southwest and joins the Hud- 

 son in Essex county, about three miles above the point where 

 Indian river comes in. It rises in the Cedar lakes, near the 

 middle of Hamilton county, and flows northeast. Within a 

 mile or two of its source the West Canada creek rises and 

 flows off southwest to the Mohawk, and the south branch of 

 Moose river, another tributary of the Mohawk, via Black river, 

 rises within a mile and a half of the Cedar. In 1885 I made 

 a plant of 59,900 salmon in the Cedar, where the stage road 

 from North river to Blue Mountain lake crossed it, just be- 

 yond the village of Indian Lake. There was no logging on 

 the stream that year, and the fish could have a run of a dozen 

 or more miles up the river. 



Clendon brook flows into the Hudson about five miles above 

 Glens Falls, and is an excellent stream for salmon. I have 

 already recommended this stream, and, at the meeting of the 

 American Fisheries Society, in Washington, have shown 

 young salmon from it, which were caught and sent by Mr, A. 

 N. Cheney, who, I think, also sent some to Mr. E. G. Black- 

 ford. It is a good trout stream, and is protected by its 

 owners against public fishing. On the 23d of August, 1888, 

 in company with Mr. Cheney, I visited the brook and we 

 fished in it for about half a mile. In an open spot we took 

 a few chubs and a few little trout, which we returned to the 

 water. Following down the stream through a dense growth 

 of alders, we found a pool in which was a school of perhaps 

 twenty fish, which Mr. Cheney said were salmon, and on 

 casting his fly in it he took one which proved to be a salmon 

 of seven inches in length. In another pool he took a second 

 one, and by letting my fly drift down under the brush, leaving 

 the rod back on the ground and holding the line in my 

 hand, I brought one up where I could identify it before it 

 broke loose. Mr. Cheney's fish were both returned to the
