Description
Summary:Collections of scales from salmon of the Moisie River taken in 1922, 1923, and 1924 were the subjects of two papers read before the Society on previous occasions. The following report deals with material from the same source and is based on scale collections made in the years 1926 and 1927, the number of samples for each year being respectively 470 and 413. The period over which the collections have been made is from the end of the first week in June to the end of July, but the number of samples occurring outside the four-weeks period from mid-June to mid-July is extremely small.
