ATLANTIC SALMON 



17 



along the north coast only one remained on 

 the west coast. Of these latter fish about 

 half were caught within 50 miles of the place 

 of marking and seemed to be destined for 

 rivers in that neighborhood. The remainder 

 went further south to the coast of Skye and 

 two beyond that to Loch Nevis and the island 

 of Mull respectively. Two moved to rivers 

 on the west side of Lewis in the outer Hebri- 



des. As will be seen from Fig. 3, 79 of the 

 105 recaptured salmon which left the west 

 coast were retaken on the north coast, and 

 the remaining 26 were found on the east 

 coast as far south as the Yorkshire shore be- 

 yond the Scottish border. 



This general move from west to east was 

 confirmed in 1937, when the experimental 

 station was moved 20 miles further south-
