It will be seen by a glance at the annexed Table that while the number 

 of records of fish ova for Stations I., III., and IV. are 16, 11, and 14 

 respectively, those for the outer stations, V., VIII., and IX., are 22,21, 

 and 26. Moreover, it may be stated in connection with this dilference 

 between the inner and outer stations, and as tending to emphasise it, that 

 the inner stations were examined a greater number of times than the outer 

 stations, owing to the outer stations being more exposed, and therefore less 

 easily examined during bad weather.
