DISPLAY OF APPARATUS. 
It was expected that all the superintendents of the U. 5. 
Bureau of Fisheries would attend the meeting, and all had been 
invited to bring fish cultural devices of novel design, that is, 
some of their own devices which may be new to others. As a 
result of this invitation the following apparatuses were on exhi- 
bition at the White Sulphur Springs Station, and one morning 
session was devoted to a diseussion of the merits of the various 
kinds of apparatus and methods employed in fish cultural work 
in connection therewith. 
Mr. Frank N. Clark gave an exposition of the Clark and 
Clark-Williamson hatching troughs. This was followed by Mr. 
Atkins, who gave an exposition of a hatching box used at the 
Craig Brook station under the Atkins method of eyeing eggs 
in stacks of trays enclosed in a stack frame. The merits and 
demerits of other forms of apparatus and equipment were <lis- 
cussed fully, but as the discussions were always illustrated by the 
presence of the apparatus or equipment, or models of it, the 
minutes of the discussions are not included in this report.

the compartment, the Clark-Wilhamson hatching troughs, 15 
trays to the compartment.
