We have so far recovered 52 of the plaice, or 11 per cent. 

 This is a large number, but it will be seen that it would have 

 been still greater if the proportion returned from some of the 

 bays had not been so disappointing. In the case of Cambois 

 Bay we marked 44 plaice, and did not recover one. Eighty- 

 five were liberated in Alnmouth Bay, and only one was re- 

 turned to us. On the other hand Skate Roads yielded 20 per 

 cent., Blyth Bay 15 per cent., and Druridge Bay 11 per cent.
