SEA-FISHERIES LABORATORY. 429 



The occurrence of the pelagic eggs of the anchovy 

 in July, 1912, is the third time we have found them in 

 Cardigan Bay. The two previous records were obtained 

 from plankton collected in 1906. The first was from a 

 collection taken on June 14th, and the other on 

 July 23rd. The late E. L. Ascroft found them in 

 plankton collected off Lytham in 1896.*
