Description
Summary:Bank So, too the vast colonies of the Grand Banks, at a considerable distance from the shores, differ from shore fish, being larger and finer, and, [-]. . .[-] excepting a few . . . are not found at any great distance from the place of their birth. It is a favourite theory with Newfoundland fishermen that, were it not for the Frenchmen fishing on the Great Banks, and covering miles of the ocean with their _bultows_, the fine bank fish would come in on the shores, and swarm in every bay and creek. . . . The bank and shore fish keep to their respective homes. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit. W. J. KIRWIN SEP 1970 JH SEP 1970 Used I and Sup Used I 3 Not used
