COLLECTING IN DIGBY, NOVA SCOTIA.
BY LILLIAN DYER THOMPSON.
While traveling through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick last summer, we
stayed for about six weeks at Digby, N. S. Digby is about 200 miles
northeast of Boston, and is situated near the Bay of Fundy, opposite St.
John, N. B. The town is located on the southeast shore of the Annapolis
Basin,—a sheet of water about twenty miles long and ten miles wide. This
basin is connected with the Bay of Fundy by a channel about
three-fourths of a mile wide at its greatest width. This channel, known
as Digby Gap, is noted for its rapid tides,—the rate of flow through the
Gap being about eight miles an hour. The tide fall at Digby is thirty
feet. The shores of the Basin are sandy, with the exception of the two
rocky promontories on each side of the Gap; the one which is nearest to
Digby being Point Prim. The town is on a small peninsula on either side
of which are two inlets of the Annapolis Basin, known as the Racquet, on
the west, and the Jacquet, on the east of Digby proper. On the ebb tide
these are almost dry, exposing long mud flats.
There is one island in the Basin, about opposite the Gap and at the
mouth of Bear River, called Bear Island. From this a long bar extends,
called Bear Island Bar, which is covered to a depth of about six feet at
low water, and is covered with eelgrass.
