. sample of the water was examined by Mr. Henry Renney of 
Jhemical Department (and for this being done I have to thank 
issor Bedson) who reported as follows : — 
-Sample of water received, 1.11.05. 
I have examined the above sample and find : — 
(1) The specific gravity at 60 F = 1-02433. 
(2) The total solids amount to 3408 grains per gallon 
(or 4868-5 per 100,000). 
(3) The amount of chlorine is 1275 grains per gallon 
(or 1821-4 parts per 100,000)." 
he pond, therefore, is very interesting with regard to the life it 
ins and has contained from time to time. A heavy sea at 
tides and especially at spring high tides washes over the wall 
t ; and this is sufficient to explain the occurrence of the fish 
entioned. 
is a place, however, which seems eminently fitted to put to 
tost problems connected with the hatching and breed - 
* the lobster, and other forms. It could easily be provided 
t sluice-gate, could be completely enclosed, and there is room 
aatever buildings and additional small ponds should be deter- 
l upon.
