Abstract
The waters of the Atlantic seaboard of Canada may well be considered the most interesting in the world. Their position midway between pole and equator ensures a maximum of seasonal change. Their western position in the Atlantic Ocean gives an arctic current loaded with ice, and the jutting Newfoundland bank causes this current to debouch suddenly into the poleward‐moving equatorial water. The continental shelf is broad and of diversified character, exhibiting a wealth of banks, islands, bays, basins, and deep channels. Also, there is a very heavy inflow of fresh water from land‐drainage.
