REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF FISH COMMISSIONERS. 



More than 60,000 pounds of dried shrimp and shrimp shells were 

 taken; 19,000 pounds of striped bass; 2,600 pounds of salmon; more 

 than 8,000 pounds of steelhead; more than 300 dozen ducks; 50 dozen 

 quail; besides snipe, plover, deer meat, etc. This evidence was placed 

 in cold storage until the cases were disposed of, after which it was dis- 

 tributed among the various hospitals, orphan asylums, etc., of San 

 Francisco. The Little Sisters of the Poor, the Almshouse, and the 

 Protestant and Hebrew Orphan Asylums were among the beneficiaries. 

 We have received grateful letters of acknowledgment from all of these 

 institutions. 



A good many deer hides were also seized, and in nearly every case of 



violation of the deer law, a few hides were collected, which aggregated 



quite a number. In the absence of any statute providing for their 



disposition, they were disposed of to a tannery, in accordance with 



previous custom, and the proceeds placed to the credit of the Game 



Preservation Fund.
