WASHINGTON, Nov. S--United States
Fish Commissioner John j. Brice has SUBJ
mitted to the President summary of the
work accomplished by the Fish Commits
sion since Dec l, 1896. AS result of the
seasons operations at the cod stations in
New England, 1S0OOO,OOO eggs were coll
leeted, from which 9S,0OO,OO0 fry were liber-
ated on the natural spawning grounds along
the coast of Massachusetts. The results
secured were 40, 900 in excess of the pre-
vious year. At the completion of the cod
work the propagation of the fiat fish (win-
ter founders) was undertaken at Woods
Hole, Mass, on scale much larger than
heretofore, as evidenced by an output of
over 64,0OOOO0 of FRY from a total collection
of s0O00.OOO eggs--over So 100000 in excess of
the previous year. so further extend the
propagation of the lobster over 12S. 900
eggs were secured, producing 115,000 900 fry,
an increase of 10000, 600.

PRODUCTION of quinnat salmon in Eastern
waters, 100000 eggs were transferred from
1.-The Battle Creek (Cai) station during the
1all of 1896, and as a result 200 fry were
liberated during the past spring in the St.
Lawrence, Hudson and Delaware rivers in
Maine.
The standardization of tine steel-head
trout in Eastern waters was continued.
The rainbow trout, native only to the noun
tain streams of the Pacific coast, has been
successfully acclimatized in nearly every
State east of the Rock mountains. Reports
from all sections of the country. indicate
the successful naturalization of the large
mouth black bass in streams hitherto I'M
occupied by them
Last summer the Albatross entered on an
important eXarnination of the salmon
streams of Alaska. The very active prose-
cution of the fisheries in certain streams
threatens to seriously reduce the supply un-
less effective measures are taken to over
come the destruction. The conditions are
so various along the three thousand miles
of the Alaskan coast on which the salmon
fishing is done that no general protection
law can be framed that will apply to all
regions.
The lake fisheries have also received par
ticular attention, and, although owing to
restrictive legislation the field for collection
of lake trout and white fish eggs has been
confined to Lakes Superior; Erie and On
tario. A larger collection than in the past
IS anticipated. During the past season
carload of tantOm were sent to the Pacific
coast and liberated off the Farrallone
