liatcbery was but 5,000 eggs. Mr. Powers was directed to hatch them 

 and place them in Newfound Lake, located 7 miles from Plymouth. The 

 QgS^ were all hatched by February 28, with a loss in hatching of G,515 

 eggs. Mr. Powers deposited 30,000 fry in Newfound Lake on May 18. 



Another instalment of saibling eggs was announced by Max von dem 

 Borne on February 3. These were lost in transit. 



C. German whitefish {Coregonus). — Received on January 30, 1885, 

 one box, containing 50,000 egga of the small species of Coregonus 

 {Madue marwua) inhabiting Lake Constance, sent by Herr von Behr 

 from the hatchery of Carl Schuster, Freiburg, in Baden, The eggs 

 were in good condition, and by order of Professor Baird were repacked 

 and shipped to Mr. Charles G. A.tkins, Bucksport, Me. 



B. Locii Leven trout {Salmo levenensis). — On January 2, 1885, we 

 received from Sir James G. Maitland, Howietoun Fishery, Stirling, 

 Scotland, six cases, containing 100,000 eggs of the Loch Leven trout. 

 They were in remarkably good condition, in fact the best I ever re- 

 ceived from across the water, as very few were indented and only 870 

 were dead 5 80,000 were sent to Mr. F. N. Clark, North ville, Mich.; and 

 10,000 to the Bisby Club, Herkimer County, New York, of which Gen- 

 eral R. U. Sherman, of the New York tish commission, is president. 

 General Sherman reports the eggs as doing well, and the trout as fine 

 as he ev6r saw. From what I can learn of this fish, it seems to be a very 

 desirable one to introduce into our waters.
