Abstract
THE result of investigation of the currents in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, by the Survey of Tides and Currents, has been issued recently in the form of a pamphlet by the Department of Marine and Fisheries, Canada. These investigations were carried on by Mr. W. Bell Dawson, in charge of this Survey, and were made during the summer months of 1894, 1895 and 1896; and they are supplemented by information collected personally by him from captains of vessels, fishermen and others having a long experience in the Gulf. The examination of the currents was made chiefly along the lines of the leading steamship routes which traverse the Gulf. It thus comprises the more open area of the Gulf rather than the estuaries and straits in which stronger tidal streams occur locally.
