INLAND FISHERIES COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. 9 



still waters, with no other fish, are where they should be placed, and 

 such ponds (natural) are by no means common. We have no doubt 

 however, but we shall in a few years reckon on the German carp as 

 one of our native fishes. 



No black bass have been distributed this year, as we have had no 

 application for them.
