These tables are necessary for obtaining the depth of water under the keel or over a shoal, for anchoring and for establishing the appropriate times for beaching a boat. Times and heights for all daily high and low waters at the REFERENCE PORTS are predicted and listed in daily tables. For some Reference Ports where the tidal behaviour is complicated and not readily apparent from the daily tables, the tide is also shown in analogue form, as calendar plots. Times and heights for SECONDARY PORTS for both high water and low water are tabulated as time and height differences relative to a reference port. Current Tables Current tables provide predicted times for slack water and the times and velocities of maximum current, all of which are associated with the horizontal movement of the tide. This information is necessary for effi cient navigation, especially when under sail. It is required when navigating narrow passes or channels that have strong currents and for safety considerations when the wind is against the current. Where strong currents are present with a strong wind opposing the current fl ow, extremely large, steep waves may be generated that can be particularly dangerous to small craft. The times of slack water and of maximum current, as well as the rates of maximum current at the REFERENCE CURRENT STATIONS are predicted and tabulated as daily tables. The current directions are indicated by (+) when the fl ow is from the ocean moving inland (fl ood stream) and by a (-) when the current fl ow is back towards the ocean (ebb stream). Times of slack water and of maximum current for SECONDARY CURRENT STATIONS are tabulated as time differences relative to a reference station. Maximum speeds for secondary stations are tabulated as either a percentage of the maximum speed at a reference port or as a maximum speed.

    I Journal of the Ontario Field Ornithologists Volume 15 Number 3 December 1997 Ontario Field Ornithologists President: Jean Iron, 9 Lichen Place, Don Mills, Ontario M3A 1X3 (416) 445-9297 E-mail: [email protected] Ontario Field Ornithologists is an organization dedicated to the study of birdlife in Ontario. It was formed to unify the ever-growing numbers of field ornithologists (birders/birdwatchers) across the province, and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among its members. The Ontario Field Ornithologists officially oversees the activities of the Ontario Bird Records Committee (OBRC), publishes a newsletter (OFO News) and a journal (OntarioBirds), hosts field trips throughout Ontario and holds an Annual General Meeting in the autumn. All persons interested in bird study, regardless of their level of expertise, are invited to become members of the Ontario Field Ornithologists. Membership rates can be obtained from the address below. All members receive Ontario Birds and OFO News. Please send membership enquiries to: Ontario Field Ornithologists, Box 62014, Burlington Mall Postal Outlet, Burlington, Ontario L7R 4K2.

We encourage the submission of full length articles and short notes on the status, distribution, identification, and behaviour of birds in Ontario, as well as location guides to significant Ontario birdwatching areas, book reviews, and similar material of interest on Ontario birds.

The approach taken was to compare the status and population trends of stocks of key cetacean species in three areas with E&P activities―Alaska (subdivided into three regions, the Beaufort, Bering and Chukchi seas), Australia (Western and southeast regions), and Sakhalin Island, Russia―with corresponding parameters for stocks of the same species (where possible) in areas where E&P activities were absent or greatly reduced. The project involved a critical review of existing and historical data on cetacean stocks, and a compilation of data on E&P activities and non-industry factors that may have influenced stocks, in the areas of interest. Data were assessed in terms of quality, quantity, and temporal and spatial coverage to determine whether sufficient data were available for a reasonable assessment of correlations between cetacean populations and E&P activities.

BLAKE, JR.* Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Canada 1NTR )I)U TION Most of the determinations reported here were obtained with the 2 L counter described in our first date list ( CSC I ) . All age calculations are based oh a C1 t half-life of 5568 + 30 yr and 0.95 of the activity of the NBS oxalic- acid standard, and the ages are quoted in years before 1950. The age errors include : counting errors of sample, background, and standard, the error in the half-life of C14, and an error term to account for the average variation of :± 1.5/ in the C'4 concentration during the past 1100 yr. `Greater than' ages are based on the 4 rr criterion I GSC I I l . After extensive testing and modification a 5 L counter was brought into routine operation in April, 1961.Its more important counting characteristics are given in Table 1. The background increases somewhat with an increase in pressure, but the C14 and meson plateaus improve. The apparent non-linearity in the counting rate of the standard is probably due to the arbitrary choice of the operating point on the plateau. The counter was constructed from a 51,4 in. 0.1)., in, wall copper tube having an overall length of 20 in. Approx. 30 mils were removed from the inner surface of the tube, by machining on a lathe, to provide a contamination- fre surface.

Collars collected locations every 4 days until May 2006, with 4 muskoxen on Bathurst Island collared, 2 muskoxen collared on Cornwallis Island, and 5 muskoxen collared on western Devon Island. Only 5-29% of the satellite locations were associated with an estimated error of less than 150 m (Argos Class 3 locations). Muskoxen in this study used low-lying valleys and coastal areas with abundant vegetation on all 3 islands, in agreement with previous studies in other areas and Inuit qaujimajatuqangit. They often selected tussock graminoid tundra, moist/dry non-tussock graminoid/dwarf shrub tundra, wet sedge, and sparsely vegetated till/colluvium sites. Minimum convex polygon home ranges representing 100% of the locations with <150 m error include these movements between core areas, and ranged from 233 km2 to 2494 km2 for all collared muskoxen over the 3 years, but these home ranges include large areas of unused habitat separating discrete patches of good habitat where most locations were clustered. Several home ranges overlapped, which is not surprising, since muskoxen are not territorial.
