Note.— N o catch was reported in the years not shown in any division of this table. 
In reviewing the Chatham Strait fisheries, it was found desirable to divide the 
district into two parts — northern and southern — on account of the distinct runs which 
enter the strait from opposite directions, the arbitrary line of division being the 
fifty-seventh parallel of north latitude. Table 4 gives the entire catch of salmon in 
Chatham Strait from the year of the earliest available records down through 1927. 
Most of the catches before 1904 were unallocated. The figures given for these years 
were taken from Moser’s reports and the reports of the special agents of the Treasury 
Department. Several consolidations of catches were made when it appeared that 
localities had been given different names by the fishery companies, or where names 
were misspelled. In many cases catches which were reported as having come from 
two or more districts were allocated to the waters named only after a painstaking 
examination of the records of each individual operator in each year. The same ratio 
of division could not be used in each case, yet the allocations were made with due 
regard to all the information then available. In this way catches that were reported 
from Chatham Strait and Frederick Sound in 1919 were divided between the two
