THE BAY OF FUNDY. 



Seasons of 1904 and 1907. 



This region includes the outer part of the Bay of Fundy as far up as St. 

 John, N.B., with the vicinity of Grand Manan island, together with the waters 

 off the Nova Scotia coast as far as Shelburne. The Stations at which anchor- 

 ages were made, are situated in the passages and on the lines of ocean and 

 coastal navigation in the region; and they are thus within an ofhng of 20 or 25 

 miles from the coast of the mainland. 



The observations of both years are grouped together in successive periods, 

 to make them correspond in general with the progress of the season. Because 

 of the strong currents, the distances between points as obtained by the ship's 

 log, may be greater or less than a measurement on the chart; but the relative 

 positions of all points will be correct. The anchorage Stations are definitely 

 fixed in position; and several of them were occupied in both years. The letters 

 which indicate them, correspond with the publication on Currents in this 

 region. The position of the Stations is defined by a bearing and distance from 

 some convenient landmark, so that they can readily be laid down on a map or 

 working chart.
