1 Two with date of capture not reported and one reported retaken before date of tagging. 



2 One reported taken before date of tagging. 



3 Two reported taken before date of tagging. 



CHUMS 



Eighteen were tagged and three recaptured. One was taken in each of the fol- 

 lowing localities: Cape Muzon, 8 days; Soda Bay, 9 days; and Nutkwa Inlet, reported 

 taken before the date of tagging. 



CONCLUSIONS 



The percentages of tagged fish recaptured in each experiment are about the same 

 as in the experiments of 1924 and 1925. The following table (Table 22) gives the 

 percentages of recaptures for each experiment in which there was a sufficient 

 number recaptured to make such percentages fairly reliable. The discussion of the 

 percentage of returns given in the report on the tagging of 1924 and 1925 does not 

 need to be modified in the light of the additional experiments of 1926 and need not be 

 repeated here.
