Specimens from Lunenburg Co., N. S. — On 9th May, 1923, 

 S. Edgar March, C. E., of Bridgewater, N. S., took with hook 

 and worm some fish in the swift water from the spillway of 

 the dam at the outlet or eastern end of Millipsigate Lake, not 

 far from the Alicmac Gold Mines, near the headwaters of the 

 Petite Riviere, 4"4 miles southwest of Bridgewater, in Lun- 

 enburg, County, N. S. The lake, which is situated 11 miles 

 from the sea-coast, is about I2 mile long, and its waters 

 pass into Hebb Lake which is of about the same size. Mr. 

 March only knows of this one place where this species of fish 

 is found, although he has been an angler for forty years and is 

 familiar with the waters of the district. It is possible for it to 

 reach the waters above, and as very small fry it might make 

 its way below. 



In order to give a clear idea of the location, it may be said 

 that Manamki, Millipsigate, and Hebb Lakes form a chain, in 

 the order named, connected by streams. They are controlled 

 by the town of Bridgewater and are the source of its water- 

 supply and electric-light system. At the foot of the lowermost 

 or eastern lake, Hebb's, where the power-house is located, is 

 now an 18 to 20 ft. concrete dam, with no fishway, which re- 

 placed an old wooden dam which was about 14 feet high. No 

 fish can pass this point upward, and possibly only a very few 

 may be able to go down during great freshets. Fish in this 

 lake should, however, be able to pass up the stream and so 

 into Millipsigate Lake by way of the gates in the dam at the 

 foot of the latter lake, which open up from the bottom. One 

 or two of these particular fish have also been taken in the 

 stream below Minamki Lake. 



Mr. March sent a specimen of the fish to the Provincial 

 Museum (ace. no. 5225), which was readily identified as one 

 of the Whitefishes, but owing to certain variations which it 

 presented, it was considered unwise to attempt to determine 

 the species to which It belonged, from a single example. Dr. 

 Philip Cox, of Fredericton, N. B., to whom I also submitted 

 the specimen for examination, was likewise not quite sure as to 

 what form it was. A reference was made to it in the Report of 

 the Museum for 1923, page 16.
