3. Decidedly southern species. 
Albula, Anguilla, Archosargus, Brevoortia, Carcharias, Car oon, Galeorhinus, 
Mola, ore medtocris, Prionotus, Stenotomus, and Tautoga. 12 species. 
In the following account of the various species we give in brief form the 
present knowledge of their distribution in the Bay of Fundy, and of their oc- 
currence at various stages in their life history, as well as an indication of the gear 
by which the adults may be taken. Very little has been published concerning 
the fishes of the Bay of Fundy, therefore this account is mainly based upon 
the investigations that have been made from the Canadian Atlantic Biological 
Station at St. Andrews, New Brunswick. Only the waters within easy reach 
from the Station have been at all thoroughly examined, and they are the same 
as those whose fish fauna has been made known through the labours of collectors 
of the United States Fish Commission with Eastport, Maine, as a base. The 
fishes of the remainder of the bay are known to us largely through special ex- 
peditions from the Station, namely, that in August and September, 1916, to 
St. Mary bay, Yarmouth, St. John and the Annapolis basin; that in the summer 
of 1919 to St. Mary bay; and that in September, 1920, to Minas channel and 
basin. To Professor Philip Cox, of Fredericton is due the credit for identifica- 
tion of much of the material that has been collected as well as for an active 
share in its collection, and to Mr. A. H. Leim of the University of Toronto 
we are indebted for information as to the species taken in the weirs at Scotsman 
bay, Minas channel, where he was engaged in a study of the shad during the 
summer of 1920. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. A. Found, Assistant Deputy 
Minister of Fisheries, Department of Marine and Fisheries, we have been able 
to obtain from the Fishery Officers specimens of fishes from their respective 
districts. We may mention Mr. B. B. Brittain. of St. John, Captain Edward 
Chute, of Harbourville, Kings County, N.S., Mr. J. G. D’Entremont, of Pubnico, 
Yarmouth County, N.S.; Mr. W. A. Fraser, of Grand Manan, and Mr. T. C. 
Rose, of Urbania, Hants county, N.S. 
Myxine limosa, Girard. 
Not uncommon on soft mud bottom and rather deep water in the Bay of 
Fundy. It has been recorded from Grand Manan (Putnam, 1874, p. 129% 
Goode and Bean, 1895, p. 3) and from Eastport (Kendall, 1908, p. 1). From 
a number of records we may mention the following: Off Head harbour, Cam- 
pobello island, 60 fathoms, August, 1911; off Fish head, Grand Manan, June, 
1912; off Bliss island, 35 fathoms, July, 1912; off Campobello island, 50 fathoms, 
January and February, 1919; Passamaquoddy bay, 18 fathoms, April 16, 1919. 
The egg has been obtained off Campobello island, but no young have been seen. 
Petromyzon marinus, L. 
Not seen very often. Perley (1852, p. 225) gives it for the St. John river, 
and Cox (1898, p. 42) described it as occurring on squirrel-hake in Kennebecasis 
bay. Mr. Leim has found the larve very abundant in the Shubenacadie river. 
Dr. Cox has obtained the adults in the Passamaquoddy region, and Kendall 
(1908, p. 1) records it from Eastport.
