Both Experiments 10 and 15 have given good results, 

 the former shewing 50 per cent, and the latter 20 per 

 cent, of recaptures. They may conveniently be considered 

 together, as the fish were caught on the same ground ; 

 the stations of liberation are close together, and there was 

 only a month between dates of the two experiments.
