  cultin-e 
  who 
  visited 
  this 
  station 
  

   during 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  the 
  eggs, 
  pronounced 
  the 
  eggs 
  

   and 
  yonng 
  fish 
  in 
  tlie 
  most 
  healthy 
  condition 
  ; 
  and 
  there 
  

   was 
  a 
  marked 
  dififerece 
  between 
  the 
  aj)pearance 
  of 
  the 
  

   iish 
  liatched

  I 
  am 
  convinced 
  that 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  this 
  system 
  of 
  movea- 
  

   ble 
  hatching 
  apparatus 
  oni' 
  streams 
  can 
  be 
  much 
  better 
  

   stocked 
  with 
  the 
  salnumida' 
  tlian 
  l)y 
  the 
  system 
  hitlierto 
  

   pursued 
  of 
  developing 
  the 
  eggs 
  in 
  hatching-houses 
  and 
  

   transferring 
  the 
  young 
  fish 
  thence.

  jjUvced 
  at 
  his 
  disposal 
  for 
  their 
  

   proper 
  care 
  and 
  development, 
  it 
  being 
  also 
  considered 
  

   that 
  l^altimore 
  was 
  the 
  most 
  convenient 
  point 
  for 
  their 
  

   distribution 
  to
