sandy -bottom fauna of the higher parts of the Bank is the great 
abundance of Hydroids, Bryozoa, and Sponges. But numerous 
shells and Crustacea, mostly of common New England species, 
also occurred. Of Crustacea there were 22 species, from local-

General Results from the Explorations by the Bache. 
Before discussing the work done in the Bay of Fundy, it 
will perhaps be best to consider the principal conclusions that 
may be drawn from the facts already presented in rega to 
the faun and physical conditions of St. George’s and oe Have 
Banks and the regions adjacen 
It is evident that the sa represent several distinct 
faune and sub-faune. For our present purposes they may be 
grouped under six heads. "The following are then some of our 
conclusions: 
1st. The surface-fauna outside of the banks, and at certain 
times even over their outer slopes, belongs to the peculiar fauna 
prevailing over the entire surface of the central parts of the 
Atlantic leg and shows very clearly the direct effects of the 
Gulf Stre
