MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATIONS OF CANADA 
Biological researches have been carried on during the past year 
with increased activity and success at the three Scientific Stations 
located on the Atlantic coast at Brandy Cove, near St. Andrews, N.B., 
on the Great Lakes at Go-Home Bay, Georgian Bay, and on the Pacific 
coast at Departure Bay, near Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. At the 
St. Andrews Station the investigations bearing on fishery and technical 
problems of high importance were under the direction of Dr. Huntsman 
of Toronto University, and he was assisted by several qualified workers 
from McGill and Toronto Universities. Professor L. W. Bailey of 
New Brunswick University, Fredericton, continued his researches upon 
diatoms and other minute plant life, which form the food of many fishes 
and marine animals, and Dr. A. B. Klugh of Queen’s University, 
Kingston, aided in these researches. A full programme of problems 
had been prepared by the Chairman of the Biological Board (Professor 
Prince) bearing upon the Lobster, Oyster, and Bait Fisheries, and the 
Herring and Deep-sea fisheries, and interesting reports embodying 
the results will be published shortly. Professor Ramsay Wright of 
Toronto, Professor Knight of Kingston, and other members of the 
Biological Broad spent some time in researches at St. Andrews. 
At the Georgian Bay Station there was a full complement of 
workers chiefly advanced students from Toronto University, and Dr. 
B. Arthur Bensley again performed the duty of Curator for the year. 
Dr. Bensley has summarised some of the results in a valuable report on 
the fishes of Georgian Bay which will be included in a forthcoming 
series of reports “ Contributions to Biology, Part IV.” 
The work at the Pacific Station was carried on with greater vigour 
and success than during the preceding season. The Rev. George W. 
Taylor, F.R.S.C., though much hampered by serious indisposition, 
continued to perform the duty of Curator. Professor J. Playfair 
MeMurrich, Toronto University, completed some remarkable researches 
on the British Columbia salmon, the startling results of which form 
the substance of a paper which will be found in this volume. 
Work on the halibut fisheries, including visits to the fishing, the breed- 
ing, and the feeding grounds, was also carried on by Dr. MeMurrich. 
Amongst other workers on the staff was Dr. Joseph Stafford, McGill 
University, who added greatly to our knowledge of the marine fauna of 
the Straits of Georgia, and made fine collections of interesting species 
of fishes, shell-fish, &c. Some workers from England crossed the
