interest to compare the results in the two years, although this can not be done fairly 
with any species except the pink salmon on account of the poor representation of the 
other species in the 1924 experiment. 
RED SALMON 
The returns for the red salmon tagged at Kingsmill Point are given in Table 7. 
The majority of the recaptures were made in Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage, 
as far north as Taku Inlet. Four fish were taken in the Stikine River; and this, 
together with the fact that relatively numerous returns were received from Frederick 
Sound, indicates that the Stikine River is the source of an important part of the 
red-salmon run entering southeastern Alaska through Chatham Strait and Frederick 
Sound. Other tagged reds were taken in the southern part of Chatham Strait along 
the western coast of Kuiu Island, and three were taken in the southern part of 
Clarence Strait near Dixon Entrance. These returns indicate a southerly migration 
of minor importance, possibly to the Nass and Skeena Rivers.

COHOES 
The returns from coho salmon tagged at Kingsmill Point, as given in Table 
8, indicate a migration of considerable importance through Frederick Sound and 
probably to the Stikine River, where 6 of the 44 returns were secured. No fish were 
taken north of Frederick Sound in Stephens Passage. Others, however, were taken 
south of Frederick Sound in Chatham Strait, Keku Strait, Sumner Strait, along
