The stations should also be credited with the value of the 

 brood fish in the ponds. It is difficult to make a perfect census 

 of the brood stock; but the following items will give some idea 

 of its extent: 



The Caledonia Station has 5,000 brown trout and 5,000 rain- 

 bow trout ranging in age from three to five years ; the Cold Spring 

 Harbor Station has 5,000 brook trout from two to five years old 

 and 500 brown trout of like age; the Delaware Station has 2,500 

 brook trout ranging from yearlings to five or six-year-old fish, 

 and the Linlithgo Station has 147 adult small mouthed black 

 bass and 205 adult calico bass. A moderate estimate, based upon 

 prices at commercial hatcheries, would give a total of more than 

 $8,000 for the brood trout, bass and calico bass.
