  Baird, 
  Gal. 
  — 
  This 
  station 
  was 
  opened

  1873 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  

   securing 
  eggs 
  of 
  the 
  California 
  salmon. 
  It 
  was 
  operated 
  for 
  this 
  pur- 
  

   pose 
  for 
  about 
  ten 
  years, 
  but 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  1884 
  and 
  the 
  present 
  year 
  

   no 
  eggs 
  have 
  been 
  taken, 
  although 
  a 
  keeper 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  charge. 
  Mr. 
  

   Livingston 
  Stone 
  has 
  superintended 
  it 
  from 
  its 
  inception.

  Trout 
  ponds 
  near 
  Baird, 
  Cal. 
  — 
  This, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  preceding 
  sta- 
  

   tion, 
  is 
  situated 
  on 
  the 
  McCloud 
  River, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  under 
  direction 
  of 
  

   Mr. 
  Stone, 
  although 
  more 
  immediately 
  carried 
  on 
  by 
  Mr. 
  L. 
  W. 
  Green. 
  

   It 
  has 
  been 
  operated 
  since 
  its 
  establishment 
  in 
  1879 
  for 
  securing 
  eggs 
  

   of 
  California 
  or 
  rainbow 
  trout, 
  of 
  which 
  246,000 
  were 
  obtained 
  in 
  3885. 
  

   During 
  the 
  present 
  year 
  a 
  disease 
  developed 
  among 
  the 
  trout 
  which 
  

   caused 
  some 
  alarm, 
  and 
  which 
  was 
  investigated 
  by 
  Prof. 
  S. 
  A. 
  Forbes, 
  

   with 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  ascertaining 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  identical 
  with 
  that 
  which 
  

   swept 
  off 
  such 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  fish 
  in 
  the 
  Wisconsin 
  lakes 
  in 
  1884.
