*"This fish is seldom found north of Cape Cod. About the .year 1S33, an attempt was made to introduce them 

 [sic] into the waters north of tlie Cape, but with no success, the water proving too cold to enable them to Ijreed theTe. 

 The only authority that the writer possesses as to their existence on the coast of Nova Scotia, is, the 'Official Circular' 

 from Mr. Gidney, the collector of Sandy Cove, in wliich it is stated that pitrgies are occasionally seen in St. Mary's 

 Bay. If they are the true porgies they have probably strayed from a warmer latitude in pursuit of food." Knight.
