The dpU>rininatioii of ova nnd young frotii a (|UHrt»'r of tlic rIoIk' when' many >|)d. is luiturally no easy matter, moro rspt'cially wlicn only Vro»orvcd mntorial is available, and it will, as a r\do, bo obvious from the outlet tiiat complptn suecoss must be out of tin' iiucstion. TliP object of the Canadian inveg- tiKatioMS \va^, bowevcr, principally to ascertain tbc liioInRical conditions under which the most important spt^i'ies of tish lived and niulti|)lied, so that possible errors in the (leterTninatioii nl' ^nnu' few of the less frei|iiei]tly oi-curriuK r-i)ei,'ic» W'liiM be of minor importance. In view of thi^ fact and with the promise of every assi-tance from Dr. lljort nnd Majristcr Koefocd. T undertook the task, all ditRcultieiK>cially to des( riptions of Kuropean siH'cies, anei|HiMes are indistinL'\iishable one from another until the embryos are well iieve|o|H>(l. In some few cases, on the other hand, the ovn may he accurately determined from the time of spawning. It will, moreover, Ik- justifiable to presnpi>ose relation lietween ova of like appearance in one and the saini' sample, where some are newly spawned and others with the embryo sufficiently devoloiMvl to permit of certain determination. The pre-ent material of ova and yomig was collected by means of a silk net (Im. diameter) and preserved in 4 per cent formol. The duration of the surface hauls varied somewhat, as a rule between ten and fifteen minutes: the depths, as stated for the vertical hauls, are also in Bome cases only approximately correct, owing to diffi- culties in the working of the net. Similarly, the records as to quantity should not be taken too strictly, these being for like reasons only approximate figures, i he proportional ()uantitative vahi(>s. how- ever, as between eggs at different stages of development, may be taken as fairly reliable. r,,-).-),'5— IJa 4 nrPARTHKST or THK SAVAl SFRVICK Tlip inuUriul wii* <-.>ll.«<'tr.i in th iirw; ..f fiv.^ to Juno 4. t»H' nocond from July L'l to July 21t. . . . ^^ « n • / In the gu\t of St Lawrence, two crui«ea were made with the C.O.S.

T\u' young stajrcs of this species havp boon shown by Agassi?, (On the Young Stajros of some Ossrous Fishos, Part III, Clenolabrus coerulevs DeKay, pi. XIII, and XIV). I have not, howevor. boon able to identify the species with certainty from these drnwinps. but as tho larvR' ntrroe vory woll with the young stages of the related European form Lnhrus rupextrin, T have had no hesitation in ascribing the Canadian material to Clenolabrus ad-'tpersus* According to Professor Ehrenbaum's " Nordisches Plankton," the larvse of Tavtnqa oniti.i are vory similar to those of this species, but as Taufooa is a southern form, there can hardly be any question of confusion with the present siiccios. As will be seen from the illustrntions, the Canadian form differs from the European in havinfr a vory distinct massing of pigment at the posterior basis of the dorsal fin. The diameter of the ova is the same in both species, viz., 0-8 — 0-9 mm. The distribution of Ctcnolabnis adspersus ranges from l^brador to Sandy Hook (Jordan and Evermann) ; it is a distinctly coastal form, especially affecting rocky bottom. Ctenoldbrus adspersus is summer-spawning; on the first cruise of the Princess (.Tune !t to .Tune 15) li\tt not more than tv,-pnty-one eggs of this ppecie„s were taken. On the second cruise (August 3 to August 12), on the other hand, numeroMS larvtB were found, and only vory few eggs. nio«t "f those fonnd being in a very advanced stage of development. • Tnutogotabrmt ndsppraj Walb.Tiim. DEPARTiirXT OF THE yAVAL SERTICE As will be seen from the chart, ova and young were only found at the stations nearest the coast, especially in the gulf of St. Lr.wrence along Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. The material of this species from the Acadia amounts to some few eggs and young taken at Sable island and farther in near the Ont of Canso. The size of the young varied between 3 and 9 mm.; (see also tables). / 2. F.I. If. CAIiAXGlDJE. Capros aper (Lacepede). ,0f this species, only one specimen (total ](.iiRth (5 mm.) was taken, this being from the Acadia, Station 44, where it was brought up in a vertical haul from 150-0 ra. Although Jordan and Evcrmann do not mention this species an occurring in American waters, I have been obliffed to as.ribe this specimen to the species in question. C. aper is also found, by the way, in the eastern Atlantic right up to the coasts of England, and it also penetrates into tlie ^Mediterranean. 3. FAM.SCOMlUnn.T-:. Scomber scombrus (Linnsus). (Plate I, FiB 3: TabU- lib.) Of this species, quite a considerable quantity both of ova and young were collected, especially by Xo. 33, and on the second cruise of the Princess. •Tordan and Evermann pive the distribution of the mackerel along the American coa^t as from Labrador to cape Ilattcras. and it is therefore remarkable that its ova and younp should here have been found almost exclusively in the southern portion of the gulf of St Lawrence.

It would seem that the mackerel here when spawning keep to the shallower waters in towards Prince Edward Island. It is also interesting to note that while the first stations on the first cruise of the Princess inside and west of Prince Edward Island furnished purely arctic species, the hauls made a week later, on the eastern side of the island, broiipht up the first mackerel eggs. The m.Tckerel's spawning season appears to extend over a considerable period, from middle of June (first cruise of the Princess) to some way on in August. The size of the mackerel ova will be seen from the table; it will be noted that the dianu'ter varies greatly, a phenomenon which is also well-known in European waters. Princean. Prtnress. Princess.

It is iiuted, hiiwever, that in this species, internal fertilization may take place, and that the ova may therefore he in a far advanced stage of development before beiiiK spawned; this occurs especially in the northerly waters.
