Whipple, Forest, Fish and Game Commissioner: Sir.— In submitting my report of the fish cultural work I take pleasurein calling your attention, first, to the steady growth in the output ofthe stations from 1907 to 1909, as exhibited in tabulated form. Itwill be observed that in 1909 the Commission distributed nearly 135,757,115more fish than in 1908, notwithstanding the fact that 1908 showed a largeincrease over the yield of 1907. Since the date of the last report many important improvements havebeen made at most of the stations, and the station at Linlithgo has been placed.

It has a stock of brood fish, blackbass and calico bass, and its ponds are now in condition for active service,while the water supply has been reinforced by a pumping plant for takingwater from Roeliff-Jansen Kill. This will always obviate the danger of afailure of the supply from Kleine Kill, and will furnish cooler water in thespring, in all probability making it possible to carry brook trout to fingerlingsize. The ordinary work of that station was supplemented in 1909 by asuccesful experiment with the river herring, of which Foreman Winchesterplanted 9,500,000 of fry, besides having liberated more than 1,000,000 shadin the Hudson river and the Roeliff-Jansen Kill. He also filled applicationsfor 44,800 black bass from adult stock brought chiefly from the Oneidastation. At the Linlithgo station there are now about 500 adult calicobass which were collected
