Abstract
IN the last report of Mr. W. Bell Dawson on the Survey of Tides and Currents in Canadian Waters, the results are given of an investigation of the tides in the Bay of Fundy. The information in Mr. Dawson's report is interesting, as these tides are frequently credited as having the greatest range of any in the world, and in some books of physical geography are stated as having a range of 120 feet,1 or more than double that which actually prevails.
