-/ Recoveries from two releases from trap WE-24 (Figure 3) on consecutive days, 24 and 25 July, 

 could not be separated because identical tags were applied to all fish. Data from these two 

 releases were pooled and treated as if one release had been made on 25 July 1942 for purposes of 

 this report.
