 Bny of Fundjo The 50 fnthom (91 m.) contour rounds the northwestern 

 portion of Nova Scotia nt ^ distance of 30 miles (48 km,) from the 

 shore. It then follows the general direction of the con:^tline 

 f9ppro<5Ching to within 1 mile (0,6 km.) of the shore in t ie vicinity 

 of Digby Neck. B'rom q position just north of Petite Pnssjage it 

 proceeds in a northeasterly direction, crossing over to the New Bruns- 

 wick side just south of the Saint John Estuary, at a distance of about 

 10 miles (16 km.) from the shore. It then runs parallel to the shore, 

 projects into Gr^nd Manan Channel, approoches the northermost tip of 

 Grand Manan, rounds the eastern side of the Island, and passes out 

 of the Bay, running parallel to the const of Maine at a distance of 

 p.bout 20 miles (32 l-on.) from the shore. The 100 fathom (185 m,) 

 contour reaches to the mouth of the Bay of Fundy from the Gulf of 

 Maine. In the southeastern channel between Grand Manan Island and 

 Brier Island, there exists an area in which the depths are generally 

 greater than 100 fathoms (182 m,)„ From_ a line between Digby and 

 Saint John, eastward a gradual shallowing takes place to the head of 

 the Bay. 



Fresh water enters the Bay from, five are^s, as follows: 



(a) Saint John area 



(b ) Passaraaquoddy area 



(c) Chlgnecto area 



(d) Mlnas area 



(e) Annapolis area
