SIXTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING. 



just below tlie dam at Troy, the largest fisii of which we have 

 any record of being captured in the Hudson. It has been proved 

 cone lusively that the Hudson can be made a salmon river. A 

 bill introduced into the I-egislature by Mr. Cfjllins, which pro- 

 vides that no person shall at any time catch salmon in the waters 

 of the State of New York with any device, save that of angling 

 with line or rod, held in the hand, and then only from March ist 

 to August 15th in each year, passed both Houses and is now in 

 the hands of the Governor. 



Landlocked Salmon.— From 40,000 eggs received from the 

 United States station at Grand Lake Stream, it was decided to 

 plant 25,000 in the tributaries of the Hudson River, and the ma- 

 jority of the fish were sent to Mr. A. N. Cheney, of Glens Falls, 

 who placed them in Clendon Brook, a trout stream where the 

 sea salmon have done well for several years, while the remainder 

 of the fry were planted in Long Island waters. 



Bro(.)K Trout. — We have received 90,000 eggs from the New 

 York station at Caledonia, and from these and eggs which we 

 took from our limited number of stock fish, we have distributed 

 in waters in the State 148,986 fish and fry, and we may say that 

 in all cases where the numbers are given there is no guess work 

 about it. The eggs are counted in a measure, and the rest are 

 measured in the same glass; then when they are placed in the 

 hatching troughs an account is kept of the number of dead eggs 

 and fry taken from each trougli, so that we can tell exactly how 

 many fish there should be remaining in each compartment. 



Brown Trout. — We received several consignments of the 

 brown trout, Sal?no fario, xhe common brook trout of Europe, 

 from the Deutchen Fishcherei Verein, and also from Herr Max 

 von dem Borne, the well-known fishculturist of Berneuchen. 

 These were on account of the United States Fish Commission, 

 and some of the eggs were sent to Michigan, Pennsylvania, Vir- 

 ginia and Washington. We hatched and distributed 34.000. 



Loch Leven Trout {Sal/no leve7iensis). — The eggs of this famous 

 Scotch trout were sent to us by James Gibson Maitland, Esq., 

 proprietor of the Howietown Fishery at Sterling, Scotland; 

 24,000 fry were produced from the eggs.
