REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. *25 



panies according to tlie list given in the footnote.* The special points 

 asked Ibr were, permission to have the cans containing the young fish 

 transported in the haggage-cars of express trains and to allow such 

 access of the messengers to the same as might be necessary. The pro- 

 vision that no charge was to be made for extra baggage Avas ofl'ered by 

 the companies themselves, and gladly accepted, while an additional 

 pri^dlege was conferred by the Baltimore and Ohio Eailroad Company 

 by setting the example of authorizing the stopping of trains at sneh 

 points on rivers or streams as might be convenient for the proper intro- 

 duction of the fish into the waters. I am very happy in being able to 

 make public acknowledgment of this very great liberality.
