26 THE EEPOET UPON No. 14 



The ducks have not been numerous this year. 

 Muskrats about the same as other years. 



From Overseer H. A. Henderson^ of Pelee Island, for Pelee Island and the 

 other islands in Lake Erie. 



Commercial fishing in this district has not been as good as in former years, 

 although I think the white fish are on the increase. Angling also was very poor. 



There is no game here except wild geese and they were very plentiful ip the 

 fall and spring. 



From Overseer Remi Laframhoise; of Loiselleville, for Detroit Eiver, fronting 

 Townships of Sandwich, West Anderdon and Maiden, and also Canadian islands 

 in said river. 



The fishermen report that the fishing season has been quite satisfactory as a 

 whole although there have been very few white fish caught in the Detroit Eiver this 

 present fall to date. 



The carp fishing has been very good and the price higher than in previous 

 years. 



Bass, pickerel and perch are about holding their own. 



Quails are very plentiful. 



Black and gray squirrels are very scarce. 



Black and grey mallard ducks were plentiful early in September. 



Canvas back, blue bills, red heads, were not as numerous last spring as they 

 have been in the last few years. 



Muskrat and rabbits seem to be quite numerous. 



Feontenao County. 



From Overseer Melzar Avery, of Sharhot Lake, for Township of Oso. 



The fishing in Crow Lake, Eagel Lake, St. Georges' Lake and Sharbot Lake 

 has been very good this season. 



Partridge, ducks and deer are very plentiful and should afford good sport for 

 the hunters. 



From Overseer George Barr, of Harrowsmiih, for Township of Portland. 



Angling in Fourteen Island, Eock Silver, Long, Mud and Desert Lakes was 

 excellent this year. 



First and Second Depeau Lake should be stocked with pickerel. 



Napanee Lake being over-stocked with catfish and there being no game fish 

 I would recommend one set of hoop nets being allowed. 



Trapping was poor last season, due, I think, to weather conditions and to the 

 long season allowed for trapping. This could be remedied by shortening the trap- 

 ping season, and charging a small license fee. 



Game of all kinds is increasing. 



From Overseer Matthew Cox, of Howe Island, for the waters of St. Lawrence 

 Eiver around Howe Island. 



The anglers report fishing has been very good this season. 

 Ducks were plentiful also.
