[5] SHAD OPERATIONS AT FORT WASHINGTON, MD., IN 1883. 1039 



Mr. Jobn Luckett was in charge of the Laul-sciue and gill-uets. Hav- 

 ing had many years' experience on the Potomac River, his services and 

 information were most valnable. The abilities and condnct of the other 

 employes at the station were such that I would unhesitatingly recom- 

 mend them for future employment. 



Messrs. C. W. Mitchell, of Chapman's Point, Maryland, and Wm. E. 

 Stuart, of White House, Va., OAvners of those shores, have been of 

 great service and assistance to the employes of the Commission. Being 

 men of education and intelligence, they have aided us on all occasions. 



Accompanying this report will be found a daily meteorological rec- 

 ord ; also a record of the spawn-taking operations conducted this season 

 on the Potomac Eiver.
