Statistics of the salmon pack are again presented for a number of 

 subdivisions of the three main districts of Alaska, and a comparison 

 is made with similar statistics in 1923, the first year in which this was 

 done. These districts are described as follows: 



Bristol Bay. — The .Bering Sea shore east and north of the Ugashik 

 River. 



Port Moller and Herendeen Bay. — Port Moller, Herendeen Bay, and 

 Nelson Lagoon. 



IJcaian-IShvma gin Islands.— Fsiise Pass, Ikatan Bay, King Cove^ 

 and the Shumagin Islands. 



Chignik. — Three canneries located at Chignik. 



Kodiak-Afognali Islands. — Kodiak, Spruce, and Raspberry Islands- 



Cook Inlet. — The shores of Cook Inlet. 



Prince William Sound. — Extends from Resurrection Bay to Point 

 Whitshed, except that the packs of king and red salmon at canneries 

 eastward from Shepard Point to the end of the district are omitted.

 River and includes the red and king sahnon pack at Cordova canneries 

 not credited to Prince William Sound.

 Dry Bay.

 Islands, the shores of Cross Sound, Icy Strait, Lynn Canal, and

 Taku Harbor is credited to this district, as some of it originated 

 elsewhere.

 cannery pack and the Petersburg Packing Co.'s pack, in addition to 

 that of all canneries on both shores of Chatham Strait and its bays 

 from Point Augusta to Cape Ommaney, and through Frederick

 burg and eastward from Port Beauclerc to Cape Chacon and
