The shad work of the State has been carried on at Catskill, except one year, when 

 the State Fish Car Adirondack was used and it was found to be unprofitable to depend 

 upon a shad station on wheels with no fixed arrangements with the shad fishermen 

 for a supply of eggs. The work has been conducted in the now old-fashioned shad 

 boxes, a method which will be abandoned in the future. 



During the years 1883 to 1895, both inclusive, the State hatched and planted in 

 the Hudson, shad fry as follows:
