Mr. J. A. Jones, of Xahuel Huapi, tells Mr. Tulian thai dur- 

 ing the ])ast few months he has personally caught with hook and 

 liiu' about 200 nice brook trout from the little stream which 

 runs tbrougli the field near his house, and says they are the finest 

 lu' evt'r tasted ; he also states that his small boys, who had put a 

 gunny sack across a narrow part of this stream, went upstream 

 and drove 23 nice trout into the sack. A short time ago one of 

 ]\Ir. Tulian's men found an 8-inch lake trout on the shore of 

 Lake Corrintosa, and Mr. Tulian says there is every proof that 

 many of the lakes in the Nahuel Huapi region contain brook 

 and lake trout as well as landlocked salmon.

 Ayson has written us as follows in regard to recent developments, 

 which are of a decidedly interesting nature : 



You will be pleased to hear that we have had a run of both 

 chinook and sockeye salmon up s]Dawning this season. You are 

 probably aware that we had a run of spawning chinook salmon 

 in the Waitaki river and its tributaries last season. We discov- 

 ered them early in May and with the exception of one female 

 fish all Die others we were able to capture were spent fish. I am 

 of the opinion that they went up in March and April. This sea- 

 son at the same time we find quite a good run of them again. 



The only sockeye eggs imported into the colony were brought 

 over by Mr. Lambson in 1902, Most of the fry which werj
