THE rERIODIC GROWTH OF SCALES IN GADID^ 



Summarised Table showing Average Surface Size op Scales in Whiting 



AT Various Stages. 



GADUS MEBL ANGUS (WHITIXG). 



For purposes of comparison I submit two tables of ages for the 

 Whiting, the first table from Fulton's paper on " The Eate of Growth 

 of the Cod, Haddock, Whiting, and Norway Pout" {Fishery Board for 

 Scotland, 1900) ; the second table from Cunningham's paper on " The 

 Eate of Growth of some Sea Fishes and their Distribution at Different 

 Ages " (Journal Marine Biological Association, vol. ii., n.s., 1891-2).
