﻿160 
  Sixteenth 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  We 
  also 
  delivered 
  300,000 
  yellow 
  perch 
  fingerlings 
  during 
  the 
  

   month 
  of 
  November, 
  placing 
  them 
  in 
  over 
  60 
  different 
  localities. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  10,800,000 
  Tullibee 
  eggs 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  hatchery 
  that 
  

   were 
  taken 
  in 
  Oneida 
  Lake. 
  In 
  gathering 
  the 
  Tullibee 
  eggs 
  in 
  

   Oneida 
  Lake 
  this 
  fall 
  we 
  were 
  much 
  hampered 
  by 
  not 
  having 
  a 
  

   suitable 
  steamboat 
  with 
  which 
  to 
  get 
  around 
  to 
  the 
  nets. 
  The 
  

   weather 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  year 
  when 
  we 
  have 
  to 
  get 
  these 
  eggs 
  is 
  cold 
  

   and 
  generally 
  stormy, 
  and 
  as 
  we 
  have 
  to 
  go 
  from 
  four 
  to 
  ten 
  

   miles 
  from 
  the 
  hatchery, 
  a 
  good 
  seaworthy 
  boat 
  is 
  really 
  needed. 
  

  

  The 
  trees 
  in 
  the 
  chestnut 
  grove 
  on 
  the 
  hatchery 
  grounds 
  have 
  

   been 
  trimmed 
  and 
  the 
  grounds 
  leveled 
  up. 
  The 
  last 
  of 
  the 
  bass 
  

   ponds 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  completed 
  this 
  fall 
  had 
  not 
  the 
  wet 
  

   weather 
  come 
  on 
  so 
  early. 
  

  

  The 
  eye 
  trouble 
  in 
  the 
  small 
  fish 
  in 
  Scriba 
  creek 
  did 
  not 
  ap- 
  

   pear 
  so 
  bad 
  this 
  season, 
  but 
  the 
  Lamprey 
  Eels, 
  are 
  very 
  plentiful 
  

   yet 
  and 
  kill 
  immense 
  numbers 
  of 
  fish 
  in 
  the 
  lake 
  during 
  the 
  

   summer.

  January 
  8, 
  1910,

  of 
  the

  near 
  Constantia,
