The diameter of the egg's is between OS and 0-9 nun. as regards those from the 

 gulf of St. Lawrence. At the Acadia Station 47, however, the diameter was 0-70 to 

 0-75 mm. 



Onos cimhrius is widely distributed botla in European and American waters. It 

 does not, however, ])enetrate so far to the northward as the cod; lives mainly on soft 

 bottom in fairly deep water, near the coast. It spawns more especially in May 

 (Europe). 



As regards its distribution in the gulf of St. Lawrence we notice that it is 

 especially numerous about Prince Edward Island and towards Anticosti; always close 

 to land or above the more shallow banks. 



Ova of Merluccins were found in considerable quantities on the second cruise of 

 the Acadia, especially above the banks off Nova Scotia.
