intervals of 65 days (between release and recovery) to Pubnico, 60 days to Yarmouth, 
64 days to Port Maitland, and 85 days to Dig by Gut suggest a somewhat more

until they approached Nova Scotia, where their daily rate may have increased to 5

that drifted from the Cape Cod line (line B) to the Bay of Fundy in 1922 (p. 887).
