The material was collected in the course of five different cruises, of which two 

 made on board of C.G.S. Acadia covered a zigzag coiirse between the southern point of 

 Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, the first extending' from May 29 to June 4, the second 

 from July 21 to July 29. 



In the gulf of St. Lawrence, two cruises were made with the C.G.S. Princess from 

 June 9 to June 15 and August 3 to August 12; here also, the SS. N° 33, in addition 

 to its ordinary fishery operations, collected a number of samples during the period from

Before proceding to the treatment of the material, I should mention that a 

 quantity of ova and young had already been determined by Dr. Hjort in Canada, 

 ■while Mr. Koefoed also has kindly determined a number of Atlantic fish, and has 

 further assisted me in doubtful cases with other forms.
