Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1926, Vol. 40
The next day Mr. English and I explored the Signal Hill at St. Johns. A road leads from the city to the top; and half way up lies a pond in shelter of a rock outcrop and surrounded by swamp and Shrubbery. A brook carries its over ?ow down towards Quidi Vidi Lake below, and a bittern ?ew up as we approached. In this pond I secured various, mostly microscopic, inverte brates and three sticklebacks, 3-6 cm. Long (gaster ostens We then went up to George's Pond, from where the city gets its water supply; it has a stony margin and clear water and is said to be eighteen fath'oms deep. I kept samples of the filamentous algae in it, and secured also a stickleback (g. Cuoieri?) here.
