CHAPTER III. 



Scientific Investigations in St Andrews Bay. 

 1886—1896. 



Tables I.— VII. 



The Stations in St Andrews Bay were as follows : — 



Station I. extends 5 miles S.E. by E. from St Andrews, 

 depth 6 — 12 fathoms. 



Station II. begins 2 miles from St Andrews, and extends 

 E. by S. for 4 miles. Depth 7 — 14 fathoms. 



Station III. begins 2 miles from the pier, and passes 4 miles 

 E. by N. 8—12 fathoms. 



Station IV. commences a mile and a half from harbour and 

 curves round the N.W. part of the Bay. Depth not exceeding 

 8 fathoms. 



Station V. is outside the enclosed area, beginning 2 miles 

 from the Tay-buoy, and ends E. half S. of Barbet Ness\ 



Station VI. runs nearly at right angles to the latter, or 

 from the Carr water towards the Bell Rock. 



In examining the statistics carefully sent from the "Garland " 

 by Mr W. L. Calderwood"'^, the naturalist on board, and compiled 

 by Mr Duncan Matthews at the Fishery Board, the mode of 

 drawing deductions from them has been varied ; in short it has 

 been deemed well to handle them in the same way as was done 

 for the Report of the Trawling Commission in 1884, viz., by 



1 oth Ann. Report, S. F. B., p. 55, 1887.
