 9 Research in Everett Bay has been covered

11 submitted, and in separates by Richard Tyler, although the 



12 final report of Mr. Tyler's work for 1963 and 1964 has not 



13 been officially published because recent somewhat rigorous 



14 statistical treatment indicates a non-random or non-uniform 



15 distribution of the young chum and pink salmon in Everett 



16 Bay. 



17 I think you will notice that Tyler's work 



18 has been covered rather well in the project report, and I 



19 certainly do not have any corrections to make except that 



20 for 1963 and 1964 I do not believe that the distribution 



21 was as uniform as is indicated in the report. I think that 



22 I have the statistical tests here, if anyone is interested 



23 in analyzing them. 



24 I think these tests show that there is a 

 preferential schooling area or a demonstrated avoidance
