FISH. And What the Fish Commissioners Have Done to Stock our Waters. ROM the 36-page pamphlet which the biermial report of the Cali- uia Fishery Commission, we glean 5^d^ the following information of great oon- ^il) sequence to ichthyopbagists: In 1874 the Commissioners telegraphod to Livingston Stone to prepare another aquar- inm car to take the place of the one destroyed by the breaking of a railroad bridge over the Elkhorn river in Nebraska. He was also in- structed with reference to the varieties of fish to be brought across the uuntineut. He ar- rived June 12, 1874, having succeeded in transporting safely seventy-three full-grown spawning black bass from Lake Champlain, which were placed in Napa Creek; twelve small black bass from St. Joseph's river, Michigan, which were placed in Napa aad .Mameda creeks; sixteen full-grown glass- eyed perch from Messisquoi river, Vermont, which were placed in the Sacramento river; seventy-four cattish, which were placed in the San Joaquin river, near Stockton; seventy horn pouts, from Lake Champlain, which were deposited in lakes at Sutterville, Sacra- mento county; three hundred small Eastern salmon, obtained from the Penobscot river, Maine, were placed in the Sacramento river, near Rtading; four full-grown rock-bass from the Missisquoi river, which were deposited in Napa Creek. Of salt-water tish there arrived twenty-three tautogs, or black tish, which were deposited in the Bay of San Francisco. Of the one hundred and fifty full-grown lob- sters, with which Mr. Stone started, only three lived through the journey. The de- tails '- f Mr. Stone's experiments in gathering and transporting these ditierent varieties of fish are appended to the report, and form a valuable contribution to the new science of fish culture.
