In the spring of 1869 I had three lots of Lake Cham- plain and Missisquoi River fish transported to Charlestown, N. H., consisting of Black Bass {Grrs/es faseiaiiis) ; (ilass-eyed Pike {Liicioperca) ; Red-fin Mullets {Catosto- inus) ; White-tailed Mullets {Catostomiis) ; Lake Cham- plain Shad, Whitefish {Cflregouus); Suckers (Catosto- mus) : Mascalonge {, gill-covers bare) ; Pickerel {, gill-covers sealed); Hornpouts, Bull-heads {Pi- melodus) ; Yellow Perch {Perca flavescens) ; Sheep's Head, Urumfish {Amhlodon). Their journe> was a long and severe one. They were first taken in a seine, and confined in a pound a day or two, then transferred to a hundred-gallon wooden tank, and conveyed ten miles in a row-boat to the village of Swanton, \'t., thence to the railroad station by wagon, thence to St. Albans by rail, where they waited several hours for the connecting train. They then travelled 152 miles by rail to Charlestown, where they were received in a wagon and driven to the Ponds. Ice was used plentiful1\' on the way, probably too much, they being warm-water ush, and the water was more or less aerated. The result was very different with different fish. There were about forty fish in the tank each time, all full grown, and averaging two pounds apiece. All the shad (whitefish) died almost immediately, most of the sheep's- heads died early also, and almost all the glass-eyed pike. The mullets, perch, suckers, hornpouts, and pickerel lived. Most of the black bass lived. The survivors are still a
