The Salmon m 



became a kelt, descended, and came up the following year, adding 

 sixteen additional rings, making it six years three months. 



Fig. 115 is a scale showing one hundred and two rings. There 

 are two well-defined contractions, each of which has sixteen lines, 

 showing it had also gone down when two years old, making it in all 

 one month older than Fig. 1 14. 



FIG. 116. 35-lb. Female. 6th July 1910. 



I can only make out eighty-four lines in the scale, Fig. 116, as 

 the centre part is incomplete. This fish is on its third return, having 

 been up on two previous occasions. There are sixteen lines between 

 the last two contractions. 



The scale, Fig. 117, shows eighty-five lines, making it out to be 

 five years four months. It shows twenty-three parr lines, but it is 

 impossible to know when it went down probably when two years old.
