  REPORT 
  OF 
  COMMISSIONER 
  OF 
  FISH 
  AND 
  FISHERIES. 
  

  

  butiou. 
  The 
  question 
  of 
  the 
  transportation 
  of 
  lobster 
  fry 
  any 
  great 
  

   distance 
  is 
  still 
  an 
  unsettled 
  one, 
  as 
  in 
  but 
  few 
  instances 
  has 
  it 
  been 
  

   attempted 
  to 
  ship 
  them 
  by 
  rail, 
  and 
  then 
  the 
  trips 
  were 
  comparatively 
  

   short— 
  namely, 
  from 
  Woods 
  Hole 
  to 
  Cold 
  Spring 
  Harbor, 
  New 
  York; 
  

   from 
  Woods 
  Hole 
  to 
  Provincetown 
  and 
  Plymouth, 
  and 
  from 
  Gloucester 
  

   to 
  Kittery 
  Point. 
  The 
  shipments 
  from 
  Woods 
  Hole 
  have 
  all 
  been 
  very 
  

   successful, 
  and 
  there 
  seems 
  little 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  young 
  lobster 
  will 
  

   stand 
  transportation 
  for 
  24 
  hours 
  with 
  excellent 
  results.
