LI. — Notes on the Early Life-history of the Herring, By 

 Ernest W. L. Holt,' Marine Laboratory, St. Andrews. 



Professoe M'Intosh having kindly placed at my disposal a 

 series of young herrings obtained in St. Andrews Bay during 

 the last five years, I have been able to ascertain some facts 

 as to the life-history of the herring which may be of interest.
