Migratory Movements. 



With regard to long and short periods of migration, I find that of 

 the twenty-seven fish which were marked when kelts and recaptured 

 when clean fish, eleven have adopted the long habit and sixteen the 

 short habit. One of the fish included in the former is somewhat doubt- 

 ful, viz., 1564, from the Helmsdale, showing an increase of 71b. weight in 

 18| months, which suggests the possibility of the fish having visited 

 fresh water in the interval. 



It is of some interest to observe the localities from which the fish of 

 separate habit come from for the most part. I have gone back over all 

 the records of " kelt to clean " recaptures, noting whether the long or 

 short habit is shown, and separating the localities. In this I have 

 eliminated all recaptures on the coast, and in cases where a fish has gone 

 from one river to another I have classified it under the river of marking. 

 As a matter of fact, however, only Helmsdale to Brora transferences 

 occur. 



In 1907 there were 9 Long Migrations and 14 Short
