The commissioner OF fisheries OF Maryland
Major T. B. Ferguson, has Just presented his
third report to tie people, an advanced copy
Of which is in car hands. The results of the
availed themselves Of its advantages are given
in detail. The establishment of the smelt and
the salmon in the rivers of New England,
where the latter fish has long ceased to exist
of the salmon in the Delaware river, and of
the shad in the Ohio and the Sacramento
rivers, are referred to as evidences of what
may De- looked Tor after q like period in the
waters of Maryland including the Potomac
The probability is intimated that an increase
OF shad in some of the upper tributaries of the
Chesapeake Bay is to be expected as the result
of shad propagation in 1875. The improve
ments in apparatus and methods for Matching
and care of young fishes, which have been
greatly advanced by this gentleman at the
breeding stations on Maryland waters and the
Druid Hill Matching house, are discussed. The
novelties in this line, which are fully illus
trated in the report. are the steam power APP
OF the famous inventor, Thomas Winans, OF
keeping the food Of young trout and

A resume Of the seasons work in Matching

work in this valuable direction it is possible to
do with small amount of money. During
the year 1877, 49, 500 California salmon, 50, $50
brook trout, and 10000 smelt were distrib-
uted under Major FeTgusOnS direction. In
the shad work, he was associated with the
United States commissioner and S.444, 800 young
shad were distributed. The remainder of the
report contains observations on the embry-
OlOgy OF the Smelt andkOf the shad, and a list
supplementary to one in a FORMER report of
the species OF fishes found in Chesapeake
Maryland waters. The stock of carp belong
ing to the United States, intended for the
ponds near the Monument. are ut present at
Druid Hill Park. The work of preparation of
the ponds for their reception under the apprO-
priatiOn for that purpose, was begun yesterday

renewal OF the sport from the return of cold
