Routes Taken By Fraser River Sockerges Turoucn Pucer 
Sounp.—Tables 17 and 18 show in complementary ways the dis- 
tribution of returned fish according to the station at which they 
were marked and the region in which they were taken. Table 17 
gives the percentages of the total returns from each station which 
were taken in each region; and Table 18, the percentages of the total 
returns from each region which were marked at each station. The 
returns from regions 3, 4, and 5 are practically negligible. It is 
quite obvious that the great majority of the fish, on entering the 
Sound through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, pass across to Washington 
Sound, and especially the southern shores of the southern islands of 
the San Juan Archipelago (region 1) and the western shore of Whidbey 
Island (region 2); 8.8 per cent of the returned fish which were marked 
at Sooke were taken in region 1 and 11.8 per cent in region 2.
