  oblong'. 
  To 
  the 
  pole 
  is 
  attached 
  the 
  netting 
  which 
  surrounds 
  each 
  in- 
  

   closure. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  oblong 
  iuclosures 
  is 
  smaller 
  than, 
  and 
  is 
  placed 
  

   within, 
  the 
  larger. 
  The 
  spear-head 
  inclosure 
  is 
  closed 
  at 
  its 
  bottom 
  by 
  

   a 
  netting. 
  Each 
  of 
  the 
  oblong 
  iuclosures 
  has 
  an 
  opening 
  in 
  its 
  side 
  

   near 
  the 
  bank. 
  The 
  inner 
  oblong 
  inclosure 
  has 
  an 
  opening 
  in 
  each 
  end. 
  

   A 
  net 
  hedge 
  runs 
  from 
  the 
  bank 
  of 
  the 
  stream 
  through 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  

   the 
  side 
  opening 
  of 
  the 
  inclosure. 
  This 
  hedge 
  prevents 
  the 
  passage 
  of 
  

   the.fish 
  up 
  or 
  down 
  the 
  stream 
  and 
  guides 
  them 
  into 
  the 
  inclosure. 
  The 
  

   larger 
  oblong 
  has 
  an 
  opening 
  at 
  one 
  end. 
  From 
  this 
  opening 
  extends 
  

   a 
  net 
  funnel 
  into 
  the 
  spear-head 
  inclosure 
  through 
  an 
  opening 
  in 
  the 
  

   net 
  and 
  into 
  the 
  spear-head 
  inclosure. 
  

  

  The 
  inventor 
  says 
  : 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  am 
  aware 
  that 
  a 
  seine 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  netted 
  or 
  closed 
  bottom 
  has 
  

   heretofore 
  been 
  employed 
  ; 
  and 
  1 
  am 
  also 
  aware 
  that 
  a 
  folding 
  net 
  com- 
  

   bined 
  with 
  an 
  adjustable 
  fish-pound 
  to 
  close 
  the 
  opening 
  in 
  the 
  heart 
  is 
  

   not 
  new; 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  further 
  aware 
  that 
  a 
  net 
  with 
  a 
  closed 
  bottom

   having 
  endless

  secured 
  at 
  their 
  ends

  the 
  upper

  lower

   of 
  the 
  corners 
  or 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  net, 
  which 
  lines 
  pass 
  through 
  upper 
  and 
  

   lower 
  holes

  stakes 
  planted 
  in 
  the 
  stream, 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  corners 
  of 
  the 
  

   net 
  are 
  secured,

  means 
  of 
  which 
  endless 
  lines 
  passing 
  through 
  holes 
  

   in 
  the 
  stakes 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  the

  be 
  raised 
  up

  down,

  heretofore
