receiving them are shown below:

WORK AND OUTPUT OF THE STATIONS. 
The following tabulation lists all of the stations operated by the 
Bureau in 1907, and shows for each the period of operation, the kinds 
of fishes handled, and the number of fish and eggs produced. It shows 
also the character of the work in each locality and in some degree 
the relative importance of the stations. The last statement should 
be qualified, however, for particular instances. Some substations 
are more important in the actual fish-cultural work than are the sta- 
tions to which they are, for purposes of administration, subordinate; 
but the output of these important substations is not always shown 
separate from that of the main hatchery. Such distinctions are indi- 
cated in the table by means of a scheme of type. All of the prin- 
cipal stations and all of the substations where eggs were hatched are 
printed in ordinary roman type. Substations which were merely col- 
lecting points, perhaps shifting in location from year to year, are 
printed in italics. Italics in the column of ‘Species handled,” oppo- 
site substations of whatever class, indicate that the output, if any, is 
included with the output of that species credited to the main station. 
The transfers of eggs and fish from station to station are recorded in 
footnotes under the station from which taken, and the yield is credited 
to the receiving station. Transfers of eggs are frequent, serving con- 
venience and economy in transportation to stations which are to be 
distributing centers for the respective species, for the shipment of 
eggs is easier and cheaper than the shipment of young fish.
