B. Male Salmon. 



The number of male salmon examined in the course of the previous 

 investigation was so small that it was considered unsafe to form any 

 definite conclusions. 



During the past two years every effort has been made to procure a 

 supply of male fish, but without much success. The very small number 

 of males which have been procured seems to indicate that they must be 

 greatly outnumbered by female fish. 



The following Tables give the results of our examinations and 

 analyses of the male salmon sent to us.
