AMERICAN FISHRIES SOCIETY. 



United States Fish Commission, Northville, Mich., we hatched 

 and distributed 14,500 in Kings, Queens, Westchester, Suffolk 

 and Rockland counties, N. Y. 



E. Salmon (Penobscot). — From 500,000 eggs received from 

 the United States Fish Commission station at Bucksport, Maine, 

 Mr. Chas. G. Atkins, superintendent, we planted 269,300 in the 

 tributaries of the Hudson, in Warren county ; 99,350 in the 

 tributaries of the Delaware, in New Jersey ; 46,000 in the Oswego 

 river, and 4,900 on Long Island. The success of former plants 

 in the Hudson is announced by Mr. A. N. Cheney, of Glens 

 Falls, N. Y., who says they are plenty in Clendon brook, and 

 promises specimens. 



F. Land-Locked Salmon. — Of 60,000 eggs of the land-locked 

 salmon presented to the State by the United States Fish Com- 

 mission, only 16,300 fry were distributed, owing to their being 

 retarded in troughs too long awaiting orders. The fish were 

 assigned to Adirondack waters, but for lack of orders were fin- 

 ally distributed on Long Island. 



G. Whitefish. — We have favorable reports from former 

 plantings of whitefish on Long Island, but lack specimens, and 

 therefore have no proof that they have lived. From one million 

 eggs we distributed 990,000 fry as follows : 600,000 in Great 

 pond, near Riverhead (where success was reported) ; 340,000 in 

 Lake Ronkonkoma, and 50,000 in St. John's lake. Cold Spring 

 Harbor. 



H. Smelt. — The result of experiments with these refractory 

 eggs will be found in another paper read before the society 

 yesterday, and there is nothing new to add. 



salt-water department. 



A. Codfish. — Owing to bad weather and perhaps other causes, 

 no good eggs of the cod were taken. There has been no de- 

 cided success in the hatching of this fish, although a few have 

 been hatched by Capt. H. C. Chester and Prof. J. H. Rider, 

 both of the United States Fish Commission. This fall we hope 

 to have a smack come in to the station with live cod, and try to 

 obtain good eggs.
