﻿Califoknta 
  Brook 
  Tkott 
  — 
  Salmo 
  iridea. 
  

  

  During 
  the 
  two 
  years 
  preceding 
  the 
  last, 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   number 
  of 
  tlie 
  eggs 
  of 
  the 
  brook 
  ti-oiit 
  were 
  ])iirchased 
  

   and 
  hatched 
  out 
  at 
  the 
  Druid 
  Hill 
  hjdching 
  estMblish- 
  

   ment, 
  and 
  the 
  young 
  fry 
  distributed 
  to 
  persons 
  who 
  were 
  

   desirous 
  of 
  stocking 
  their 
  streams 
  with 
  this 
  fish. 
  The 
  

   means 
  at 
  the 
  disj)Osnl 
  of 
  the 
  (■ommission 
  did 
  not 
  wan-ant 
  

   a 
  further 
  exj)enditure 
  during 
  the 
  year 
  18'8(), 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  

   indebted 
  to 
  the 
  libendity 
  of 
  tlie 
  U. 
  S. 
  {-oiumissioner 
  for 
  

   a 
  supply 
  of 
  trout 
  eggs 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  trout 
  coinmon 
  

   to 
  the 
  streams 
  of 
  the 
  Pacific 
  slope. 
  And 
  as 
  this 
  member 
  

   of 
  the 
  trout 
  family 
  not 
  only 
  grows 
  more 
  rapidly 
  than 
  the 
  

   eastern 
  species, 
  but 
  attains 
  a 
  larger 
  size, 
  and 
  is 
  found 
  in 
  

   much 
  warmer 
  waters 
  than 
  those 
  inhabited 
  by 
  its 
  cousin 
  

   of 
  the 
  Atlnntic 
  states, 
  I 
  have 
  deemed 
  it 
  of 
  importance 
  to 
  

   attempt 
  its 
  introduction 
  into 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  Maryland. 
  

  

  Several 
  consignments 
  of 
  these 
  eggs 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  

   U, 
  S. 
  Commission 
  were 
  successfully 
  hatched 
  and 
  were 
  

   disti'ibuted 
  under 
  the 
  same 
  regulations 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  

   established 
  for 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  ,wJmo 
  fontinalis.
