Mr. Douglas states that in addition to the above 14, five labels 
have been lost by fishermen at Beadnell from lobsters caught 
inshore there, making 19 altogether — a percentage recapture of 
25-7. 
As before there is no evidence yet of a distinct migration, but 
No. 428 was found ten miles north of the place of liberation.
