AMERICAN FISHRKIKS SOC lEIY. 



Rainbow Trout. — From 10,000 eg-g-s sent iis from ihe New 

 York station, Caledonia, we have 8,000 strong, licalthy frv. 



Saiblinc. {SaI//io sah'Lii?ins). — Tiiis haiidsome tiout, wiiicli is a 

 native of the cool lakes of Ciernianv and Bavaria, and attains a 

 large size, being one of the chars, is a \civ hiilliaut fish. I have 

 seen a specimen of 5 lbs., a male in brccdiii- dics.s, in (October, 

 which was a brilliant crimscjn up U) and above the lateral line. 

 The eggs of this fish were distributed by the (jrder of the United 

 States Fish Commissioner in several Slates, some going to Vir- 

 ginia, Michigan and Pennsylvania. We sent some fry to Mr. 

 Cheney for Lake Ge(jrge, and have retained some f(jr breeders.

Sunapee Trout. — From Mr. E. B. Hodge, of the New ILamp- 

 shire Commissi(jn, we received 10,000 eggs of the large trout
