(3) Tide tables, calculations and printing; analysis of further tidal 
records, to improve their accuracy, which is of permanent benefit for all 
future years, $2,646.60. 
The report is illustrated by an outline map and two series of tidal 
curves from the self-registering gauges of 1900. These are of special 
interest in affording simultaneous comparison of the type of the tide 
throughout the Lower St. Lawrence, from the mouth of the estuary to 
the point of maximum range. 
18. MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION OF CANADA. 
The past year (1901) has been, in one noteworthy respect, the most 
important in the history of the Marine Biological Station, for it wit- 
nessed the completion of a series of scientific reports which have now 
been printed as a supplement to a Government blue book, under the 
title of “ Contributions to Canadian Biology, being Studies from the 
Marine Biological Station of Canada, 1901.” This selection of seven 
original papers, embodied in the Supplement to the 32nd Annual Report 
of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, Fisheries Branch, affords 
ample proof of the valuable and energetic work which has been carried 
on in this seaside laboratory during the three years of its existence. 
The variety and scope of the researches, in which the scientific staff 
have been engaged during that time, may be gathered from the titles of 
the articles referred to, which are as follows :— 
(1) Account of the Marine Biological Station of Canada, its Foundation, 
Equipment and Work, by Professor Edward E. Prince, Dominion Commis-

(7) The Sardine Industry in Relation to the Canadian Herring Fisheries,
