BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
Alaska in 1924; to Arnie J. Suomela, warden, who handled the work in southeastern 
Alaska in 1925; and to L. G. Wingard, warden, who conducted the tagging opera- 
tions at Port Moller in 1925. Harlan B. Holmes, junior aquatic biologist, rendered 
material aid in tabulating the data. 
The methods employed were almost the same as those followed in the experi- 
ments conducted in the Alaska Peninsula region. These were fully described by 
Gilbert and Rich 3 and need not be set forth here. 
Scales were taken from each fish tagged in southeastern Alaska, but it wrs not 
considered necessary to do so in the experiment at Port Moller, as none but red 
salmon were taken at that place, and confusion of the various species was therefore 
impossible. In the experiments conducted in southeastern Alaska the species of 
each fish tagged was recorded in the books in which the scales were preserved, and 
the identification of each fish returned was made by examining the scales taken at 
the time of tagging. A small proportion of the fish was found to have been incor- 
rectly recorded as to species, but the number was so small that it has not seemed 
worth while to examine the scales of the fish that were not recaptured. The only 
reason for doing so would be to render more accurate the figures representing the 
total number of fish of each species tagged in each experiment, but we have satisfied 
ourselves that any error that may result from accepting the data as given by the 
records made at the time of tagging will in no way affect our conclusions. 
The accompanying map of southeastern Alaska will serve to show the larger 
geographical features of that district, while the numerous minor localities from 
which returns were reported are included in the following list:
