None of these plaice have yet been returned. The 

 fishes were marked and liberated by Mr. H. C. Chadwick, 

 of the Port Erin Biological Station. I think it possible 

 that the fishes were enfeebled as a result of long confine- 

 ment in the spawning pond, and did not survive the mark- 

 ing operation and subsequent handling.
