REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



During the year over 100,000,000 fish were handled on the four cars 

 of the Commission, with a loss of a little over 1,250,000, or about 1.28 

 per cent. The cars traveled 95,374 miles in making this distribution. 

 The remaining fish propagated were distributed by detached messen- 

 gers and employees of the stations, who traveled 138,847 miles. 



The railroads shown by the following list assisted the Commission 

 very greatly by furnishing free transportation, without which the work 

 would have necessarily been curtailed :
