Abstract
II.
THE careful inquiries that have been recently carried on by various able investigators in regard to the habits of our chief food-fishes—the Cod, the Herring, and the Mackerel—have now finally disposed of a large accumulation of popular fallacies on the subject of their migrations. On the European side Dr. G. O. Sars has added most to our scientific knowledge of the subject; and on the American, the United States Fisheries' Commissioner, Prof. Spencer Baird, and Mr. Hind, of the Halifax Fishery Commission, whose reports furnish a most Valuable body of information as to the New England and Dominion fisheries.
