biological stations had an aggregate
area of over 1900 acres, with value
of $4,000. The improvements and
equipment at these stations repre-
scented an investment Of more than
100000. Other property OF the bu-
reau at that time included four sea
going steam and sail vessels, 20 steam
launches and $50 small sail, power and
rowboats, which with equipment had
q value of 100000. Its six fiSh-trans-

government in fishery-service property
ran to about $1,5S5,OOO. That was
