• A closed season for commercial fishing accounts for the absence of records from the Columbia River during the period Aug. 2.'i 

 to Sept. 10. 



* The place of capture for this recovery was not reported. As it is from a cannery that handles a large quantity of troll-caught 

 salmon, this fish probably was caught in the ocean. 



The length and weight data for the adult fish appear in Tables 28 and 29. Because 

 of the iinrehability of measurements made by so large a number of persons as have 

 reported marked salmon, lengths and weights were not required during the season 

 of 1927. This accounts for the relatively few size data for that season.
