Fig. 4. — Distribution of chum salmon tagged in Cape Fox region, June 24 to July 1, 1926 



By far the greater proportion of these fish were taken (as in the case of the 

 pinks) in Revillagigedo Channel, Behm Canal, and Clarence Strait. Only three 

 were taken in British Columbia. These results are, to all intents and purposes, 

 identical with those obtained in 1924 and 1925.
