' The percentages here based on an assumed total run of 2,000,000, as explained in the text. 

 > The figures from here to the end of the season were calculated, as explained in the text. 



The escapement records are accurate, except for 1922 and 1924. In 1922 the 

 weir was opened for about two weeks — from August 20 to September 5. This was 

 caused by the drifting down on the rack of great numbers of dead pink salmon, which 

 had spawned in the river. Their number was so great that the weir was blocked and 

 washed out, and it was impossible to maintain it. The available records for 1922 

 have been examined carefully, however, and it is estimated that the escapement dur- 

 ing the two weeks could not have been more than about 5,000 red salmon. The last 

 days before the weir was opened the escapement was only a few hundred per day, and 

 the same was true for the week or more after the weir was again in place.
