a freshet, in working out through the heavily stirred Head Harbour Passage to the 

 Bay of Fundy, at first carries plankton into the Passage from within and also out from 

 the Passage. Then, with a reflux of outer water, it brings deep-water forms into the 

 Passage from without. The latter is of particular importance for providing food for 

 herring. The fattest herring of the whole region are those in this Passage and its 

 associated waters, namely Harbour de Loutre and Cobscook Bay (Battle, et al., 

 1936). 



ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

 The Atlantic Biological Station provided facilities for this work both in 1933 and 

 in 1951. In the latter year, Messrs. Raymond Doucette and James Carson, weir 

 operators at the Digdeguash, Mr. Prescott Dines, lighthouse keeper at Letite, and 

 Mr. E. M. Steeves, Fishery Officer at Wilson's Beach, gave assistance. Also, Mrs. 

 E. Jermolajew counted the planktonts.
