From May to October 2017 seaweeds were identified in the field and laboratory from 20 sites around Brier Island, Nova Scotia. While most sites were intertidal rocky shores, there were one small salt marsh and one eelgrass bed included in the study, and some subtidal sampling was conducted utilizing SCUBA and snorkeling. The Brier Island seaweeds comprised 152 species and varieties of which 62 were Rhodophyta, 44 were Chlorophyta, 44 were Phaeophyceae, and two species were Xanthophyceae. Three species were new records for eastern Canada: Colaconema bonne- maisoniae, C. endophyticum, and Elachista stellaris, all were pre- viously recorded from New England. The flora included eight non- native species of which Colpomenia peregrina and Bonnemaisonia hami- fera (both gametophytic and tetrasporophytic stages) were abundant at two or more sites, and the invasive Codium fragile subsp. fragile was recorded based on a single drift specimen. With 150 species and varieties of seaweeds, Brier Island has the highest species richness of a limited area of eastern Canada. The Cheney floristic index at 2.4 is higher than comparable areas, and suggests that many additional brown algae remain to be found.Keywords: Chlorophyta, Colaconema, Bay of Fundy, Brier Island, Phaeophyceae, Rhodophyta, seaweeds

New records of Coccinellidae in the Maritime Provinces of Canada are reported. The known fauna of the region consists of 47 species: 41 in Nova Scotia, 39 in New Brunswick, and 21 in Prince Edward Island. Of these, records are provided for 13 species newly recorded from Nova Scotia and 14 from Prince Edward Island. Two species, Diomus amabilis (LeConte) and Naemia seriata seriata Melsheimer, are newly recorded in Canada. Didion punctatum (Melsheimer) is removed from the fauna of PEI, and Coccidula lepida LeConte is removed from the fauna of NS, and Scymnus impexus Mulsant is removed from the faunas of NS and NB. Records of two adventive species not established in the region are also reported. Collecting effort in the three provinces and their sub-regions is briefly analyzed and compared. Biogeographic observations are provided in relation to the composition of the fauna as a whole, and of disjunct populations of six Nova Scotia coccinellids, several of which appear to be members of a coastal plain fauna that extends from New England to southern Nova Scotia. The potential vulnerability of the coccinellid fauna is discussed in the context of both adventive species in the region, and habitat loss and conservation.

The Past

Intermittent summer collecting during the past ten years has added to my collection a considerable number of noteworthy records. These include additional stations or species previously reported from only a few localities within a particular state and for some of the less wellknown species in New England, new records for the occurrence of six species previously unreported from one or more of the New England states, and a few new host plant records.This is the first of a series of papers now in progress which will supplement my studies of the Tingidae of New England 1951 ). For ease of reerence, therefore, it follows the pattern of that study in the sequence of genera and of species. (Bailey,1951, page 5). All collections were made by the author unless otherwise specied.

AbstractThe faunas of Newfoundland and Cape Breton include 217 leafhopper species, of which 24 are introduced and 65 are native, common to both islands. Newfoundland has 116 species, of which 86 are new provincial records and 2 are new nearctic records of introduced European species. Cape Breton has 172 species, of which 109 are new records for Nova Scotia. A species previously known as far north as Virginia was found in Cape Breton, 2 New England species were found as far north as Newfoundland, 2 high boreal species were found as far south as Cape Breton, and 42 species previously known from west of Maine were found as far east as Cape Breton. One new subspecies and 14 new species are described: Cosmotettix unica, Oncopsis minor terranovae and Typhlocyba (Edwardsiana) unicorn from Newfoundland, Colladonus balius, Cribrus micmac, and Typhlocyba (Zonocyba) hollandi from Cape Breton, Oncopsis speciosa from both islands, Erythroneura maritima and M. inundatus from the Gulf of St. Lawrence region, Limotettix (Ophiolix) schedia, Latalus (Jassargus) remotus and Macrosteles galeae from eastern bogs, and Empoasca volsella, E. zanclus and Kyboasca papyriferae from Cape Breton westward across Canada. Three new synonyms are created: Amphigonalia Young, 1977 = Neokolla Melichar, 1926, Scaphytopius sarissus Beirne, 1952 = S. cinnamoneus (Osborn, 1915), and Typhlocyba frigida Hamilton, 1983 = T. tersa Edwards, 1914. Three genera are reduced to subgenera: Jassargus Zachvatkin, 1953 in Latalus DeLong & Sleesman, 1929, Lemellus Oman, 1949 in Sorhoanus Ribaut, 1946, and Scleroracus Van Duzee, 1894 in Limotettix Sahlberg, 1871. New World species formerly placed in Agallia Curtis are transferred to Agalliota Oman. Oncopsis prairiana Hamilton, 1983 and its subspecies are made subspecies of O. minor (Fitch 1851). The composition of the faunas of the two islands is compared with those of adjacent areas of the mainland, and evidence is found for an offshore glacial refugium.

Of 1142 fish (68 species) examined, 140 (21 species) yielded blood parasites. Overall incidence was much higher at St. Andrews, N.B., than at Woods Hole, Mass., as was the variety of fish harbouring haematozoa — 15 species (46.9%) in the former case, but only 4 (9.3%) in the latter.Trypanosoma rajae Laveran and Mesnil and Cryptobia bullocki Strout are new records for Canada, Haemogregarina delagei Laveran and Mesnil has not previously been reported from the western side of the Atlantic, and the present finding of an undesignated species of Haemohormidium Henry (a babesioid genus with which Babesiosoma Jakowska and Nigrelli is now synonymized) is the first from North American marine fish. New hosts and localities are listed for Haemogregarina bigemina Laveran and Mesnil, H. platessae Lebailly, H. aeglefini Henry, H. myoxocephali Fantham et al., and certain unidentified haemogregarines. Haemogregarina urophysis Fantham et al. is relegated to synonymy with H. aeglefini; and H. gadi pollachii Henry and H. pollachii Henry are discarded as nomina nuda. Myxosporidians of the genus Kudoa are reported (presumably as contaminants derived from slit muscle) in blood films from six hosts.Haemogregarina mavori n.sp., from Passamaquoddy Bay Macrozoarces americanus, averages 6.4 × 2.9 μ. Broadly oval to reniform and with a large, subterminal nucleus, it is found in erythrocytes that are shorter and broader than normal and exhibit marked nuclear displacement.Piscine erythrocytic necrosis (PEN) is a degenerative infection responsible for massive red blood cell destruction in Gadus morhua (Passamaquoddy Bay) and also found in Liparis atlanticus (Kent Island, N.B.) and Myoxocephalus octodecemspinosus (Portsmouth Harbor, N.H.). A distinctive inclusion body formed in the cytoplasm of infected red cells recalls similar bodies associated with Pirhemocyton Chatton and Blanc and Toddia França. Erythrocyte nuclei disintegrate with the liberation of viruslike particles formed in vesicles within them.

The general distribution of Centrolophus niger in the North Atlantic is reviewed including the first two records from the Canadian area and two additional records off the New England coast to add to the four previously recorded from this area. Two new records from the Dana collections extend the distribution of this species westward in the oceanic area between Iceland and the Azores. All known records of the rarely captured Centrolophus britannicus are presented. These include 34 previously published records from the northeastern Atlantic, eight new records from the northeastern Atlantic and the first seven records from the northwestern Atlantic, from Flemish Cap and the southern Grand Bank to North Carolina.In separating C. niger and C. britannicus some meristic characters are useful: C. niger, D. 35–41, A. 23–25, P. 20–23, gill-rakers on lower limb 1st arch, 13–15; C. britannicus, D. 44–51 (one, 55), A. 27–33 (one, 25), P. 18–21 (one, 16), gill-rakers on lower limb 1st arch, 11–13. Some body proportions are also important: the bases of the dorsal and anal fins are longer in C. britannicus and the distance from the snout to the anterior base of the dorsal fin usually greater. The length of the caudal peduncle is distinctly greater in C. niger.In C. niger the flesh is firm and the skin tough whereas in C. britannicus the flesh is flabby and the skin delicate. The peritoneum of C. britannicus is usually dark and that of C. niger usually light.
