An outbreak of the European spruce sawfly, Diprion hercyniae (Htg.), was discovered in the Gaspé Peninsula in 1930. By 1938, heavy infestations had developed west of the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, throughout New Brunswick and northern Maine, and in parts of Vermont and New Hampshire. Moderate to light infestations occurred through all other parts of the spruce forests of this region and extended from Nova Scotia, to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, and west to Ontario.

K–Ar isochron dates of 193 ± 2, 189 ± 3, and 191 ± 2 Ma are reported for the Shelburne dike of Nova Scotia, the Avalon dike of Newfoundland, and the Caraquet dike of New Brunswick, respectively. These major tholeiitic dikes agree in radiometric date with the North Mountain Basalt of Nova Scotia and with other tholeiitic flows of the Newark Supergroup that have been paleontologically assigned to the Hettangian. However, further work is needed to resolve the discrepancy between the Triassic–Jurassic boundary date of 193 ± 6 Ma suggested by the Newark Supergroup flows and the boundary dates of 204–213 Ma adopted in recent time scales.The North Mountain Basalt flows at nine sites on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy are shown to have likely magnetized during initial cooling, yielding an Hettangian virtual paleopole at 66°N, 72°E (dp = 9°, dm = 14°). New paleomagnetic results are also reported for the Caraquet and Avalon dikes.The virtual paleopoles from Hettangian flows and dikes of Atlantic Canada lie on average ~11 °north of the virtual paleopoles from Hettangian flows of the northeastern United States. This discrepancy is likely due to insufficient averaging out of paleosecular variation and demonstrates that caution is needed in paleomagnetically correlating among the Early Jurassic flows and intrusions of eastern North America.

During the winters of 1959 to 1962, 2459 commercial-sized cod were tagged off the Canadian coast south of the Laurentian Channel. Most returns came from the same general area. Very few cod crossed the Laurentian Channel to Newfoundland or Gulf of St. Lawrence North Shore grounds, or the Scotian Gulf to grounds off western Nova Scotia. Several cod populations were observed, each moving south in autumn and north in spring months. Fish tagged off central Nova Scotia did not migrate as far as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but those tagged off Cape Breton migrated into the southwestern Gulf for summer months. Fish marked in the middle of the area were intermediate in their migration pattern.Temperature and feeding appear to be the important factors associated with cod migrations. Cod remain in temperatures of 1° to 4 °C during winter months by moving to deeper water. In spring, cod disperse and feed in shoaler water. The cod of the Western-Emerald Banks area move east over the Scotian Shelf. The Gulf cod move up through the cold-water layer and north to inshore feeding near the Magdalen Islands and the Gaspé peninsula.

Mr. C. A. Frost, the coleopterist, to whom of recent years I have been indebted for many interesting and, indeed, rare Heteroptera, has again favored me with some unusual species taken by him this summer (1929), in Nova Scotia. Portaupique, so I learn from Mr. Frost, is on the North shore of Minas Basin, 30 miles west of Truro; Westchester is up in the hills at a lake in the spruce woods.
