This form of pelagic life is onl\- an extension of that of the shallow shore waters, and ma\- account for the Kuropean occurrences noted above. The seasonal distribution is the result of two general movements, one shore- ward in April and Ma>-, the other seaward in late autumn. Winter occurrences are \ery rare in our latitudes. The crew of the Prince, whose seining and net trawling operations have extended through several winters, has recorded only one occurrence, namely, 2 specimens, 41 and mm. long, at Grand Manan, December 12. 1917. Fish of all ages and sizes participate in these migrations, at least in the Bav of Fundv. 4. DISTRIBUTION IN CANADIAN WATFRS In summer an abundance of lumpfish of all sizes occurs in Passamaquoddy Bay and about the islands of the western archipelago of the Bay of Fundy, living along the shore, and especially in the masses of seaw^eed, that are e\er.
