front again in itsyield of trout. The stream formerly supplying the hatchery andponds was so badly polluted by drainage and sewage that it de-stroyed the efficiency of the station by causing serious diseases.The use of artesian and spring water has restored this property,and now it will grow in value from year to year. The collectionsof Lake Trout eggs in Keuka Lake for this station were reducedto the minimum through the depredations of the Yellow Perch andSuckers which devoured nearly all the eggs on every spawning bedin the lake. This discovery will probably account for our failuregenerally to obtain Lake Trout eggs in the large lakes which areknown to contain plenty of trout. In conclusion, permit me to recommend that the Department ofFish Culture be equipped with the force necessary to do its workup to the best standards. The result of this action cannot fail tobe gratifying to the Commissioner and to the people. Respectfully submitted, TARLETON H. BEAN. Albany, December 31, 1910.

The greater number of thesecalled for Brook Trout; 2,280,188 Brook Trout were shipped fromhere this season, of which number 1,357,188 were fingerlings, theremainder being planted as fry. The total number of trout shippedwere 80 per cent, of the eggs received. Local fishermen have had unusually good success fishing in GrassPond this season, one party catching 117 Brook Trout in one day,the fish measuring from seven to ten inches in length. There isno doubt that these fish were planted from this station two yearsago as fry. In our nets this fall we notice a great many smallwhitefish which are the result of the stocking done in recent years,and promise a supply of eggs in the future. We used nets in many
