Black-spotted trout.—Im addition to the 940 already on hand, from the 
hatching of 1891, there were received in February, from Leadville Sta- 
tion, 2,287 fish of the hatching of 1892. The shipment consisted of 5,000, 
but owing to delays en route the greater part was lost. 
Whitefish.—There were received from the Alpena Station, and for- 
warded February 20, by express, to the Fish Commission establishment 
at Duluth, Minn., 6,000,000 eggs of this species. 
Pike perch.—F¥or the purpose of illustrating fish-cultural methods in 
the exhibit of the Fish Commission in the Government Building at the 
World’s Fair, Chicago, collections of eggs of this species, to the number 
of 16,550,000, were made on Saginaw Bay and Detroit River in April, 
Mr. Herschel Whitaker, commissioner of Michigan, cooperating in their 
obtainment. In addition, 154,000 eggs of the common sucker were 
secured and forwarded. 
During March preparations were made for the care of the young fish 
derived from eggs held at the station, when the rearing-troughs were 
thoroughly cleaned and asphalted. The first were placed in rearing- 
troughs March 1. The mortality in May and June was somewhat 
unusual, and was charged to an insufficient supply of water and limited 
tank and pond areas. The number remaining on hand at the end of the 
fiscal year, June 30, 1893, together with other fish in ponds, is given in 
the table which follows:

ALPENA STATION, MICHIGAN (FRANK N. CLARK, SUPERINTENDENT), 
Operations consisted in collecting eggs of whitefish and lake trout, 
the former being hatched at this station to a large extent and the latter 
transferred to the Northville Station. Mr. 8. P. Wires, as foreman, 
executed the fieldwork. In April, 1893, his services being required at 
the Duluth Station, he was relieved, BE. A. Tulian succeeding him. In
