Biological Investigations.—There has beenas yet no scientific survey of the forms oflife existing in the waters of Manitoba, andvery little is known of the life-history of thevarious species of fish which are caught inthese waters. For example, it is not knownat what age the whitefish begins to spawn,and there is some doubt as to whether thesauger is a distinct variety of pickerel orsimply a young pickerel.
