1 Statistice used in this table for the years 1889, 1890, and 1891 were obtained by taking the pack reported by Moser (1902) and 
multiplying the number of cases by 10. that being the number of red salmon from this district required to pack a case of forty- 
eight 1-pound cans, according to Moser’s calculations. 
2 Data taken from reports of treasury agents. 
Note.— No catches were reported in the years omitted from any division of this table. 
Table 2 gives by localities the catch of salmon in the Icy Strait district. Of the 
outside localities, three are streams of the mainland between Cape Spencer and 
Cape Fairweather, the most western of which is Lituya Bay. This bay has pro- 
duced a few thousand salmon, mostly reds, for several years, but never more than 
8,000 except in 1919 when the surprising catch of 79,511 reds and 196 kings was 
reported. The Icy Point stream is unimportant and apparently was fished only in 
1914 and 1915, yet in the latter year 1,529 kings were reported. This catch is, 
however, open to question as there is certainly no stream at Icy Point which under 
the most favorable conditions would provide a king-salmon run of that magnitude. 
It is also inconceivable that these fish were taken in ocean fishing from runs to more
