Records, at ig thirteen diseases affecting salmon and trout, heavy 



mortality among young lake trout due to Gyrodactylus elegans. Remedy 

 by bath of one part cider vinegar with three parts water.

Notes numerous intestinal worms in nil salmon; parasitic copepods 

 on all species of salmon. A disease among rainbow trout which has 

 caused great mortality is probably due to encysted parasites, chiefly 

 in the kidneys, but also in liver and spleen. Dolly Varden trout taken 

 at Karluk Lake, nearly dead, had the mouth full of large lern;ean 

 parasites.

Notes eye disease of young trout as a new bacterial disease, not to be 

 confused with pop-eye, a parasitic disease. Also the gill louse so fatal 

 to trout 2 or 3 years' old.

At the Adirondack hatchery a gill parasite is very injurious to trout, 

 especially those of one and two years, and older. The only check is 

 the introduction of a surface feeding fish l" consume the swimming 

 larva' of the parasite. The waters of Spring Creek are so badly infected 

 that it is on longer possible to rear brook troul in ponds fed by this 

 stream. The parasite was identified as Lemaopoda salmonea. It does 

 not attack brown trout or rainbow trout. In black bass larval cestodes 

 arc sometimes abundant, but are not known to influence the fish un- 

 favorably.

Parasite (Filarin rubra Leidy) found in intestine of cattish in Hack- 

 ensack River. Also occurs in eels and sunfish in that region.

Notes a larval worm (nematode?) in eruptions on the skin of the 

 eel, others in the skin of black bass (determined as nematode by Dr. 

 Linton). Encysted distomes in the skin of yellow perch were also de- 

 termined by Linton provisionally as distomes in larval stages. The 

 adult Diplostomum occurs in fish-eating birds.

 todes and trematodes in the eyes in cases examined.
