J.W. Collins. Notes on an Investigation of the Great Fishing Banks of the Western Atlantic. 

Bull. N.S. Fish Comm., vi, pp. 369-381, 1886.

"These notes relate to researches made during a cruise of the U.S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross, from June 17 to July 16, 1885, with the object of investigating the fauna and fishing grounds of the chain of great ocean banks between Cape Cod and Newfoundland." Many references are made to the fishes and marine invertebrates taken in the trawls and dredges and by means of hooks and lines. These specimens are now in the National Museum.
