SMALL TRACE Grand Manan Island, but completely negative results were obtained on Grand Manan Bank and 8 miles northwest of Lurcher Shoal. In August, the gill nets were set only in open, outside locations. Trace catches were taken in sets on Grand Manan Bank, miles southeast of Schoodic Island, 54 miles southeast Schoodic Island, 3^ miles northwest Matinicus Island, and 13 miles south-southwest Monhegan Island. Negative results were obtained in the sets near Swan's Island and By miles southwest Machias Seal Island. The same pattern prevailed in gill-net fishing results in all sets made during June, July, and August. Very small catches of herring were made in the eastern coastal and offshore areas. It appears that these catches were made from very small groups of fish or a scattering of individual fish rather than from any large school of fish. The herring catches in offshore areas were principally larger fish, over 9 inches average standard length and therefore too large for sardines. Fish that averaged less than 9 inches average standard length were taken in only two of the ten small catches which were made in locations considered to be offshore. Fish from these catches measured inches and inches average standard length and were taken at positions S^^ miles northwest of Matinicus Island and at Old Proprietor Buoy in the mouth of the Bay of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally
