20. The coastal region of Newfoundland from Funk Island to Notre 

 Dame Bay was a significant temporary trap for the second half of 

 the 1964 berg crop from late April to early June. 



21. An indication of the iceberg population south of Belle Isle Strait 

 for January-September 1964 is given in table VIII. As expected, the 

 peak of the population was during the 3 months, April, March, and 

 May. Through April the supply of bergs from the north exceeded 

 the deterioration. By May the cycle was reversed with the berg mor- 

 talities exceeding the new arrivals, resulting in a rapidly decreasing 

 population by the end of June. While complete statistics were not 

 compiled on the same basis for the area south of Cape Freels, New- 

 foundland, it is interesting to note that an estimated 480 bergs had 

 arrived south of Cape Freels by 1 May, and 550 by 1 June. For the 

 berg population south of Cape Freels at given dates see figures 17-29. 



22. In early December 1963 the pack ice southern limits extended to 

 Cape Chidley, Labrador. The eastern limits probably encompassed 

 the BafRnland Current at this time. By late February 1964 the
