  REPORT 
  OF 
  COMMISSIONER 
  OF

  AND 
  FISHERIES.

  the 
  Fischerei-Verein. 
  Concerning 
  this 
  shipment 
  Herr 
  von 
  Behr, 
  under 
  

   date 
  of 
  February 
  13, 
  writes 
  substantially 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  happy 
  to 
  state 
  that 
  the 
  lake 
  trout, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  whitefish, 
  ar- 
  

   rived 
  in 
  good 
  condition. 
  Bavaria 
  was 
  to 
  have 
  nearly 
  half 
  the 
  eggs, 
  and 
  

   Mr. 
  Carl 
  Schuster 
  the 
  other 
  half. 
  Now, 
  by 
  a 
  mistake 
  of 
  the 
  railroad, 
  

   nearly 
  all 
  the 
  eggs 
  went 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Schuster. 
  This 
  upset 
  our 
  calculations 
  

   of 
  sending 
  one-half 
  of 
  them 
  to 
  Bavaria, 
  for 
  the 
  eggs 
  were 
  very 
  near 
  

   hatching, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  too 
  late 
  to 
  reship 
  them. 
  If 
  there 
  are 
  still 
  more 
  

   eggs 
  at 
  the 
  disposition 
  of 
  Professor 
  Baird, 
  please 
  ask 
  him 
  to 
  send 
  me 
  

   some 
  whitefish 
  eggs 
  for 
  Bavaria 
  ; 
  as 
  the 
  most 
  distinguished 
  and 
  influen- 
  

   tial 
  persons 
  in 
  that 
  country 
  take 
  great 
  interest 
  in 
  fish-culture.

   Dear

  I 
  am 
  desired 
  by 
  the 
  council 
  of 
  the 
  National 
  Fish 
  Culture 
  

   Association 
  to 
  tender 
  their 
  best 
  thanks 
  for 
  the 
  kindness 
  you 
  have 
  dis- 
  

   played 
  in 
  forwarding 
  1,000,000 
  ova 
  of 
  the 
  whitefish 
  (Coregonus
