It would seem from the testimony of fishermen and others that this 
food-mollusc is not as abundant on our coasts as formerly. Mr. E. 
Ingersoll, in an article on “ The Scallop and its Fishery,” in the “Ameri- 
can Naturalist” for Dec., 1886, says: “The great Pecten ienuicostatus 
of the coast of Maine and the Bay of Fundy was formerly highly 
valued by the people of that region, but now is too scarce to appear on 
the tables of even ‘the rich’ except at rare intervals.” Its scarcity is 
exaggerated for New Brunswick waters at least, for it still exists in 
considerable numbers in L’Etang harbour, Mace’s Bay, and at a few 
other points. No doubt wise regulations as to its fishery would make 
it of considerable economic importance.
