Abstract
MONCTON is situated on the Petitcodiac River, nineteen miles above the mouth of the Petitcodiac, where it enters the Bay of Fundy. This part of the river is more correctly an estuary which continues thirteen miles further up, as far as Salisbury Junction. At high tide the river at Moncton forms a sheet of water half a mile in width, while at low tide it consists of mud banks and flats, with a stream about 500 feet wide running with a strong current in a devious channel amongst the bars and mud flats, which are left dry at low water.
