These data provide new information relative to the migration of chum salmon 
taken in Frederick Sound, as comparatively few chums had been tagged here in the 
previous experiments. The main migration of chum salmon tagged at Hourigan 
Point and Carroll Island traversed Frederick Sound to its junction with Stephens 
Passage, thence northerly, where 12 returns are shown from various points in Stephens 
Passage. Nine returns are reported from Chatham Strait north of Kingsmill Point 
and 24 from Chatham Strait south of that point. Two returns are shown from 
Sumner Strait and one from Stikine River. One was reported at McNamara Point, 
Clarence Strait, and another individual was recaptured at North Breakwater in 
Revillagigedo Channel. 
The returns from the chums tagged at Cape Bendel, Frederick Sound, show two 
distinct migrations. The main migration followed through Frederick Sound, partic- 
ularly along the Admiralty Island shore, to its junction with Chatham Strait, from 
whence three of the fish took a northerly route extending as far north in Chatham 
Strait as Hawk Inlet. Two followed the Kuiu Island shore of Chatham Strait and 
were recaptured north of Washington Bay and in Tebenkof Bay, respectively. The 
other important migration was into Stephens Passage, from which place one-fourth 
of the returns were secured. 
COHOS 
Fifty cohos were tagged and nine were recaptured later. Five were taken in 
Frederick Sound and Stephens Passage ; 2 in Chatham Strait ; 1 in Clarence Strait ; 
and 1 in Selwyn Inlet, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia.
