I. Series A 



The base for this poriep of drift, bottles (figure 30), on v/hich 

 four bottles were throv/n out nt e^ich of fifteen points pt 'nterv^ls 

 of one mile, runs qlong n line from the co'ast of Grnnd Mnnnn enstvirard, 

 A total of 60 bottles were put out of which 27 or 45/^ were returned. 

 It i3 seen that the resultant movement indicated for this region is 

 outward, with those on the outer half of the line recurving to the 

 co^st of Nova Scotia qnd those on the inner half generally rounding 

 the southern tip of Grqnd t.^nan and v/orklng down the coast of Maine,, 

 Following the movement of a large number of bottles, it is seen that 

 at le'^st three ronke a com.plete circuit of the lower half of the Boy 

 of Pundy. The suggested movements demonstrate a cyclonic circulation 

 around the basin and a clockwise movement around the eastern and 

 southern co^st of Grand M^anan, In a porticul^r c^^se, a bottle set 

 out at point 9 was picked up at Parker's Cove, giving it a minimum 

 rate of travel of 4 miles per day (5,6 km, per day) „ 



II. Series B 



The b'^se for this series of bottles is shown in figure 31 o 

 Four bottles were set out at each of twenty-two points on n line 

 running northeasterly from Grand Knnan for 8 miles «nd then in a 

 northv/esterly direction for a distance of 13 miles tov/ard the New 

 Brunswick co^st. Fifty-four per cent of a total of 84 bottles set 

 out on these lines were returned. The bottles put out over the l^st 

 15 miles (24 Ion,) of the line demonstrated a v/ell defined movement 

 of the surface v/aters toward the entrance to Pa ssamaquoddy Bgy„ A 

 large number of bottles found their way ^long the east coast of Gr^nd 

 Manan, some rounding Grand .Manan, while others crossed over to the
