Page Six familiar fungas spores so much in evidence in natural salmon spawning streams that contain thousands of spawning salmon, and it was barren of fish life. Upon closer obser- vation it was found to be a natural pond or stream, with the water distributed from heavy seepage. Fearing the lack of proper fcod for the young fish after hatching, owing to the lateness of the season, when bugs, flies, gnats and various crustaceous food is not available, I buried in the sand also a short distance from the eggs, to prevent any.

A large percentage of these eggs hatched, but if they had been held to the eyed stage, or say within 4 or 5 days of hatching, the result would have been at least ninety per cent, because later experiments proved this. We must bear in mind that salmon eggs brought to this stage of development have not had time to breed the vegetable mold, commonly called fungas.
