In August, after 429 days, another female, of 33-5-42 cm., was taken in Aberdeen 

 Bay, at the distance of 52 miles. 



In November, after 530 days, a female, of 50-53-7 cm., and "fully half-ripe," 

 was caught, near Buchanness, 59 miles away. 



In December, a female was taken, after 545 days, south-east of Aberdeen, at a 

 distance of 30 miles ; it measured 40-48-2 cm., and was " nearly ripe." 



In January 1915, after 587 days, a male, of 35-5-40-3 cm., and " ripe," was caught 

 north-east of Longstone Light, at a distance of 25 miles to the south and west. 



Another male, of 31-5-37-3 cm., and " immature," was taken in February, after 

 618 days, offshore, to the south-east of Aberdeen, at a distance of 26 miles. 



In May, after 702 days, a female, measuring 29-38-8 cm., and " immature," was 

 recovered north-east of the Bell Rock, 24 miles away to the north and west. 



Li November, after 876 days, a female, of 40-44-1 cm., and "about three- 

 quarters ripe," was taken, offshore, to the eastwards, at a distance of 25 miles. 



A female was recaptured in February 1916, after 989 days ; it measured 41 cm. 

 on liberation, but the size on recapture, and the place where it was caught, were 

 not recorded. 



The last fish of the experiment to be recovered was a male, of 30-40-4 cm., and 

 "ripe," which was captured in March 1916, after 993 days, to the south of Clyth

The following table shows the mean direction and distance, in each quadrant, 

 for all the fish recaptured : —
