bay, but also at the following places: outside St. John harbour, in Kennebecasis 
bay above St. John, in Minas channel, Annapolis basin, and St. Mary bay, 
and at Yarmouth. It is also landlocked in Chamcook and Utopia lakes, which 
drain into Passamaquoddy bay. Taken in seines, weirs, gill nets and shrimp 
trawls. 
Maurolicus pennanti (Walbaum). 
Has been recorded from Grand Manan by Cox (1896 b, p. 55) and again 
by Prince (1918, p. 1143 and 1144). From Dr. Cox we have also obtained 
additional records, namely, from stomach of pollock at Welchpool, July 13, 
1914, and on the beach at Wilson’s Beach, July 27, 1914—both on Campobello 
island. An immigrant from the midwater of the northern Atlantic. 
Fundulus heteroclitus (L.) 
Restricted to brackish water and hence not very common in the Bay of 
Fundy. It can be obtained usually in the brackish tidal pools, as at St. Andrews. 
Also in Annapolis basin and St. Mary bay. The variety macrolepidotus has 
been reported by Cox (1896 a, p. 56, as F. nigrofasciatus) from the mouth of 
Little river, St. John county. 
Scomberesox saurus (Walbaum). 
Recorded by Cox (1896 a, p. 60) as having been taken in the vicinity of 
of St. Stephen. This would mean somewhere in the Western Archipelago. 
We have not met with it. It has been found off southern Maine. An immi- 
grant from the open ocean. 
Pungitius pungitius (L.) 
For the most part restricted to brackish and fresh water and consequently 
rarely seen along most of the coast. Chiefly in ponds or in streams in the 
intertidal zone. Taken in Passamaquoddy bay, and also in St. Mary bay. 
Doubtless very general as no fish is more widespread in distribution in Canada. 
Gasterosteus aculeatus, L. 
Practically restricted to the brackish water, but occurring occasionally 
in the saltest water, but always near the shore and near an estuary. Also 
outside St. John harbour, in Kennebecasis bay and St. Mary bay, and at Yar- 
mouth. 
Gasterosteus bispinosus, Walbaum. 
Often in company with the preceding species in Passamaquoddy and St. 
Mary bays. 
A peltes quadracus (Mitchill). 
Restricted to the brackish water and therefore rarely met with. In the 
estuaries of Passamaquoddy bay, in Kennebecasis bay, St. John, and in St. 
Mary bay. Taken in the seine.
