" On January 25. the first lirh were noticed from the harbor lot, 

 and from tbat timo thoy ijchtinued to batch slowly uniii February 

 a, when not mr.ro than 10 per cent, were out, and two days lattt, 

 when tho first fish wero 11 days old, and the eggs 51 days from tbe 

 parent, a few still remained nnbatcbod. 



" The number of ash hatched during the experiments was not 

 far from, 550, 000. At first, while the apparatus remained so.im- 

 p.-rfocl, tho loss was groat, and nearly or in sotiw canes quite all of 

 the first few lots of oggs were killed. But with tbo introdutioo of 

 now motboda oue difficulty after another was overcome, and tho 

 percentage of loss was gradually reduced, The manner' of oarine 

 for tbe eggs while hatching soon came to be bettor uud. 

 and this too had a decidedly beneficial effect, no that, ban 

 loss resulting from impure water, there was a constant gai 

 percentage hatched, and tho loss during the last of tbo set 

 not execod 40, and was frequently not over 30 per cent, 



"When first hatched, tho little' fish remain nearly motionless, or, 

 at times, indulge in the same spasmodic efforts BO noticeable when 

 freouig themselves from the eggs. In a day or t wo tbev become 

 more active, darting about for short distances in tin.. wat.'r, with a 

 peculiar motion and considerable rapidity. la a few days they 

 begin to absorb the yolk-sscs, and seem quite vigorous, whilo the 

 pigment cells increase rapidly, giving them considerable color. 

 Whou thoy had reached this stage they were usually taken to tbo 

 otlter harbor and liberated to become accustomed to their future 

 surroundings before the yolk-sacs wore absorbed, thus giving 

 tbom tbe opportunity of seeking their natural food when tho first 

 instincts of hunger should lead thorn to de.-iro it. 



"Theyouugcodseom more hardy than those of most other 

 species, and may bo kept lor a considerable length of timo with 

 small loss. In one case fullv 50 wero put in an 8-nnneo bottle and 

 kept in a, room at a temperature of 50 deg. P., without change of 

 water for four days before the (hut ones died. Early in ■* 

 number were Bent by express to Professor Baird in Wa

 ceptthat given by tho baggage master on the train."

REPORT OF THE COLORADO COMMISSION. 



THE report of the Colorado Fish Commission for 1879-80 takes up 

 the question of violations of the fish law, in unlawful killing by 

 explosives, tbe emptying of sawdust into streams, etc. This is a 

 common cause of complaint in '.in- tree, country, where tbo " Great 

 American Trout Hog " BuppOBOS il " "-h to In-long to himself, and 

 never, by any accident, considers that the community have any 

 rights at all in them. As this v,i v lax opimon as to the rights 

 of tho people is so common in all parts, wo would havo been sur- 

 prised not to find it in Colorado 



Tho Commissioner went to Washington in 1379 to receive a lot 

 of Gorman carp and returned with 1.07. which were distributed 

 between twenty-six poisons, ranging from Fort Collins on tbo 

 north to CueharuH on the south. A shipment of 50.000 whitcfish 

 eggs aud 1,000 brook-trout eggs was expected from Hon. E. D. 

 Potter, Toledo, O., in January, and arrangements were made with 

 the Denver Water Company to batch tho former, and with Col. Do 

 La Veiguo to eaie for tin: Latter, the State having as yet no 

 hatchcrv. 



Tho report for 1880 shows that 221 more carp wore received in 

 Juno of that year. The complaints of violations of tho law con- 

 tinue, and in speaking of the u^- Of giant powdor the report ssvb : 

 "Thoroisiioexc-use.no palliating circumstances for tbe use of 



of Lake Comitv will doubtless agree with mo that it ie rather un- 

 fortunate, if not disreputable, business for him to bo engaged in. 

 and that tho missing band will ever bo a sad reminder to htm of 

 giant cartridges attempted to be used hi violation of a just law." 



Tho carp have grown liuelv, and Col. De La Vergne writes under 

 date of Nov. 18, 1880, as IoIIowb : " I transferred my carp to their 

 foeding ground about May 20, last. They thou measured IX to 

 2>f inches. July 26, some measured 7 inches." In September 

 they measured '.))V iucheB, and wero plump, 



Colorado is makiug progress in fish culture, but the Commission 

 needs help from tho State to build a hatchery, whioh wo hope will 

 be cheerfully given. 



CONNECTICUT OYSTER BEDS.— A recent law of Connecticut 

 gives the Commissioners of Fisheries control of the ovster bods 

 and other shell fisheries. Section 1 of the new law provides that: 

 "The State shall exercise exclusive jnrisdiotiou and control over 

 all shell Ushorioa which are located in that area of the Stato which 

 is within that, part of Long Inland Sound aud its tributaries 

 bounded westerly and southerly by tbe State ul New York, easterly 

 by tho State of Hhodo Island, and northerly bv a lino following 

 tbo coasts of the Stato at high water which fliall cross all Its bays, 

 rivers, creeks and inlets fttMjeh places nearest Long Island Sound 

 IB are within and between points on opposite shores, from one of 

 which objects and what is done on the opposite shore can bo 

 reasonably discerned -with tho naked eye, or could bo discerned 

 but for intervening islands. And all shell fisheries not within said 

 area Shall be and remain within (ho jurisdiction and control of the 

 towns in which thov are located undor tho samo laws and regula- 

 tions, and through 'the same selectmen and oyster committees as 

 heretofore. If a difference shall ariso betweeu any town and the 

 eomnviseioners as hereinafter provided for, as to the boundary 

 line betweeu said town and tho aroa so to bo mapped, snid town, 

 by its selectmen, may briug its petition to the Sliperlor Court for 

 the county within which said town is situated to determine said 

 boundary line, aud said Court, upon reasonable notice to the 

 parties, thall hear said parties, and appoint, a eommitteo to ascer- 

 tain the facts in such cuso and report tho same to said Court, and 

 said Court shall thereupon make such ' order as may be proper 

 in the premises." 



THE FIRST AMERICAN FISHCULTCRIST.— Bedford. O., 

 May 28.- -Editor Forest and Stream: May I ask for a little space 

 in your excellent paper, and when I 6ay excellent, 1 iaean what I 

 say. Prof. G. Brown Goodo, in his second article in your paper 

 on tho History of Fish Culture, as published in tho last number 

 of FoiiEsr Ann Sthijam, does my dead friend, tho late Prof. 

 Acldey, and myself great in justice. A historian should not only 

 tell tho truth, 'but the whole truth. 1 hud supposed Dr. Bach- 

 mau's claims to priority in artificial fish culture were dead and 

 buriee*. Tho Profossor says Dr. Bacbman's results were published 

 in 1855, those of Dr. Garliok in 1867, in the Ohio Far nur, Omn 

 giving tho priority to Dr. Bachman by not telling tho whole (ruth. 

 It is truo that my experiments were published in the Qhio Former, 

 as staled by Prof. Goodo. But the first publication was made in a 

 scientific paper, edited by Prof. Hamilton Smith. The paper had 

 a wide circulation among scientific; men, and was known as tho 

 "Annals of Science." My experiments were made iu 1853, and I 

 road a paper beforo tho Cleveland Academy of Natural Sciences, 

 at a mooting held February 4, 1854, detailing my experiments, 

 whioh wero immediately published in the " Annals of Science"
