I wish here also, to return a grateful acknowledgment to 
'those gentlemen whose kindness to me in replying to my 
•enquiries has added much to the completeness of this paper. 
To Mr. John Tilton, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, for copies 
•of Fishery Reports; to Mr. J. H. Duvar, Inspector of Fisheries 
in Prince Edward Island, and my friend Mr. S. W. Kain, of 
St. John, for much information I am particularly indebted. 
Mr. H. Piers, of Halifax, Mr. J. A. Turner, of St. John, and 
Mr. John Sharp of Summerside, have also patiently answered 
my troublesome enquiries, for which I am sincerely thankful 
to them. The Micmac names of Molluscs have been taken 
verbatim from Dr. Silas T. Rand’s ‘‘First Reading Book in 
the Micmac Language.” The Milicete, or, more properly, 
Passamaquoddy, names have for the most part been given me 
by Mr. H, Lyle, of St. Stephen. Figures 3, 5 to 17, 19 and 
■21 are from Binney’s Gould. Figure 4 is reduced from the 
same. Figures 18, 20, 22 are from Verrill’s Report on In- 
vertebrates of Vineyard Sound. Figures 1 and 2 are reduced 
from the latter’s Monograph on Cephalopods of North-eastern 
‘Coast of America. All have been reproduced by the Helio- 
rfcype Company of Boston.
