results were promised. but untortu.

died soon after transplanting, and the
pond was abandoned.
Two years later . shipment Of rain.
bow trout were planted in the creeks
feeding the Tangipahoa river, and in
greeks and other streams OF East and
West Feliciana parishes. BY regula,
ton Of tbs department 1t was made a.
legal to take these fish for three years
from November 10, 1919. but a few
have been taken BY fishermen who
knew nothing Of the species, and ex-
hibited a. new and unknown species
Of trout. They have been observed in
Tsnghipahoa streams by Messrs.
Richard and Walter Kent, and in q
