Abstract
1. Sixty specimens of B. haineri, of five successive year groups, were obtained in December, 1933, and a further 33 preserved specimens taken in the winter of 1925 were examined.2. The mean ages contained for successive year groups from the size distribution and from individuals settled on those of the preceding year, yielded results in good agreement with one another.3. First-year individuals do not spawn. All older individuals had ripe genital products in the 1933 material, and early embryos in the 1925 material.Keywords
