Of older fishes of various kinds brought over, there were 433, in addi- 
tion to 199 adult sea salmon purchased jointly with the Maine commis- 
sioners from the Penobscot River catch, the latter having been confined 
in the inclosure at Dead Brook to await maturing of their eggs in 
November of this fiscal year, when they were mgnipulated and returned 
to open waters. Besides 276,500 fish in process of rearing, shown in a 
preceding table, there were on hand at the end of the year 242 wild 
Atlantic salmon, purchased in June as prospective spawners, and also 
those species enumerated in the subjoined statement:

Meteorological data of the year is presented in condensed form below. 
The water used at the hatching-house flows through a conduit having 
connection with the brook at a point above the sources of the springs. 
Pond B, referred to in table, being situated below the hatchery, receives 
a mixture of brook and spring water. It is a small pond, which, till 
May, 1893, accommodated the Atlantic salmon previously referred to 
as having been acclimated. The north stand of rearing-troughs, out- 
door situation, is fed from above the hatchery, receiving commingled 
waters of brookand springs. Alamoosook Lake, a body of fresh water 
about 5 miles long, on the bank of which the station is located, became 
closed by ice formation December 12, and was not again open until May 
1. On February 10 the ice measured 284 inches, and was crossed by 
teams December 25 and April 8. Early in December exposed water 
conduits were protected by a covering of hay, boards, and evergreen 
brush, and toward the end of the month the two ice-houses were filled 
from the lake. The observations on which the table is based were 
made daily, at 7 a. m. and 2 p. m., omissions in June being incident to 
shutting off water for repairs: i
