stream. We then stopped. I had seen enough to assure me 



that the fish were there in numbers. 



Clendon brook has received the following plants : 



1884 41,000 



1885* 59.700 



^886 19,700 



^888 50,000 



Total 170,400 



I can strongly recommend this brook for future plantings. 

 It not only is a good stream for rearing the fry in, but is be- 

 low several of the falls, especially the great one at Jessups 

 Landing, which is a formidable one for fish to go over but 

 which is dry in summer, owing to the water being used in the 

 great paper mill at that place. (See account of Palmer Falls, 

 under the head of " Dams and Obstructions.") 



When I began the work Professor Baird left the selection 

 of streams to me, as I had a slight knowledge of the Adiron- 

 dack region, but some of the brooks I did not know and de- 

 pended on the opinions of the natives, judging that if they 

 were good trout brooks they would do for salmon. I am, how- 

 ever, more indebted to Mr. Cheney than to any other man, 

 for this information as well as for the daftis and obstructions 

 lower down, as he has fished that country very extensively and 

 is one of our best informed anglers. Stoddard's excellent 

 map of the Adirondacks was also of use, but its scale does 

 not permit the naming of the smaller brooks.
