The food in numbers 1, 6, 9 were identified by Dr. C. D. 

 Marsh. It is probable that the minute crustaceans noted 

 in 2, 3, 4, 8 are the same as those found in 1, 6, 9. This 

 material was so badly macerated that it was impossible 

 to be confident of the identification. 



The large amount of food found in the stomach and 

 intestine, and the presence of a great deal of fat in most 

 instances, is convincing evidence that these fish did not 

 starve to death. It seems strange that they were all 

 males. The honey bees eaten had evidently been in the 

 water several days, as practically every one was covered 

 with saprolegnia. 



The following whitefish were collected by Milo Otis, 

 superintendent of the Saranac Inn Hatchery. The fish 

 were taken during November, 1916, in nets used to secure 

 spawning fish.
