After the annual seasons of high water in the Mississippi basin, 

 great numbers of young fish are left in sloughs and pools when the 

 waters have receded, and would eventually die by the drying up of 

 these shallow places in summer or freezing in winter. Large collec- 

 tions are made from such sources, for return to the original stream 

 and, of the most abundant species, also to supplement the hatchery 

 stock for distribution. The fishes so collected in 1910 were asfollows:
