Fig. 2.— Distribution of cohos tagged in Cape Fox region, June 24 to July 1, 1926 



The main migration routes are north into Revillagigedo Channel and Clarence 

 Strait and south into various localities in British Columbia. Approximately one- 

 half the total number returned were taken in British Columbia. In the experiments 

 conducted late in July, 1925, only 79 cohos were tagged and 14 were returned, all 

 from Alaskan waters. Although this can not be taken as conclusive evidence, it 

 indicates that while approximately one-half of the earlier runs of cohos at Cape Fox 

 originate in Canadian streams the later runs are, in large measure, if not exclusively, 

 derived from streams in Alaska.
