10 REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE. 
| HATCHERIES OPERATED. 
No new hatcheries were in operation during the year. The hatch- 
ery near Havre de Grace, Md., at the mouth of the Susquehanna 
River, closed by order of the Secretary in the last fiscal year, has re- 
mained closed. The Bureau is not informed of any action taken by 
the Maryland Legislature that would justify the reopening of this 
station. The equipment has been largely removed for use in other 
fields. The station at San Marcos, Tex., closed by order of the Sec- 
retary in May, 1917, was reopened July 1, 1918, the Texas Legislature 
having in March, 1918, enacted a law to meet the requirements im- 
posed by Congress. Following is a list, in alphabetical order, of the 
fish-cultural stations operated during the year, with the principal 
auxiliary or subsidary stations thereunder, the period of active work, 
and the species handled. The numerous minor field stations and 
mere egg-collecting points are not shown. 
Congress has provided a permanent personnel for the Berkshire 
trout hatchery, and regular operations thereat have begun. Al- 
though the donation of this valuable property was formally accepted 
by the Government in July, 1916, the Department of Justice has not 
yet made the report on the title, as required by law, so that the Bureau 
has not been able to assume formal control.
