 Richard E. Follett, Esq., Windham, Conn.- In leply to your inquiry as to the quality of the trout eggs purchased 

 by me for the Virginia State Commission, I beg to say that they arrived in prime condition, hatched out good, 

 healthy fish, and with little loss. Twenty-five hundred were distributed just after beginning to feed, the rest re- 

 tained' until now, when we have about SOyOOO fish from 8 to 4in. long for distribution from this lot. 



Very truly yours, M. MCDONALD, Commissioner Fisheries, Va. 



Maryland Fish Commission, Oakland, Sept. 19, 1887. 

 K. E. Follett, Esq.— Dear Sir— The trout eggs you sent me last winter were so well handled that our loss was noth- 

 ing in transportation, and the count was rather over than under. In hatching we obtained 98 per cent. I shall 

 favor you with more orders this coming season. Very truly yours, G. W. DELAWDER, Commissioner.

PAR M. ANTONIN KOUSSET. 



Translated by 

 REV. S. W. POWELL. 

 The introduction reviews the extraordinary 

 movement of torrent taming in France, in pre- 

 paring public sentiment for which the Studies of 

 Master Peter played a noteworthy part. The 

 b©ok was written as a sort of science primer, 

 setting forth the. first principles of the relations 

 existing between woodlands and agriculture. 

 The principles and reasoning are not less appli- 

 cable to the United States to-day than to France 

 then.
