The differences shown in the above tables are very slight. The Bay of Islands 

 specimens have, on the whole, the highest tail percentage, and the southern gulf speci- 

 mens the lowest. Larger individuals show more marked differences. A series from 

 21 to 27mm. were taken from three localities: (1) Bay of Islands (No. S3 station 57) 

 with icy cold bottom water doubtless throughout the year; (2) Bay of Fundy (Prince 

 station 3) with moderately cool water throughout the year; and (3) the southern part 

 of the gulf (Prindess station 25) with water very warm in summer and very cold in 

 winter. 



The tail percentages for the different sizes are given in the following tables:—
