From regions (1)and (2) the plaice are still moving closer inshore, and from(3) they are moving dowai into the Eed Wharf-Beaumaris Bayarea. A new path is clearly indicated—that from the groundsjust offshore from the original area of liberation up to thebanks offshore from Ramsey Bay, in Isle of Man. The Autumn and Winter Migrations.
