  .Jaunai-y 
  a

  of 
  twenty-five 
  th(>us:md 
  

   (25,000) 
  eggs 
  of 
  the 
  land-locked 
  salmon 
  was 
  received 
  fiom 
  

   the 
  r. 
  S. 
  Commissioner, 
  being 
  part 
  of 
  a 
  lot 
  collected 
  by 
  

   him 
  from 
  (xrand 
  Lake 
  stream, 
  Maine. 
  As 
  this 
  variety 
  

   of 
  the 
  salmon 
  family 
  has 
  lost 
  its 
  pro])ensity 
  for 
  migrating 
  

   to 
  the 
  ocean, 
  its 
  introduction 
  into 
  the 
  streams 
  and 
  ])onds 
  

   of 
  the 
  State 
  has 
  been 
  attempted, 
  with 
  special 
  regard 
  for 
  

   those 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  which 
  are 
  diaiupd 
  by 
  the 
  

   ti'ibutaries 
  of 
  the 
  Ohio 
  River. 
  The 
  experiments 
  ti'ic-d 
  

   with 
  this 
  tish 
  in 
  the 
  ponds 
  at 
  Druid 
  Hill 
  Park 
  would 
  

   indicate 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  better 
  adaittcd 
  to 
  withstanding 
  ex- 
  

   ti'emes 
  of 
  heat 
  than 
  is 
  any 
  other 
  variety 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   family. 
  As 
  it 
  attains 
  a 
  larger 
  size 
  and 
  glows 
  moi'e 
  

   rapidly 
  than 
  the 
  brook-trout 
  its 
  domestication 
  in 
  trout 
  

   streams 
  is 
  much 
  to 
  be 
  desired. 
  

  

  The 
  disposition 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  lish 
  prodiu'ed 
  from 
  this 
  

   lot
