districts on the basis of the probable catch in each district by the operators concerned. 
The same procedure was followed in allocating the catches from “Icy Strait, Chatham 
Strait, Peril Strait and Bays” in 1905 to 1907, and 1909 to 1919; from “Icy Strait and 
Chatham Strait ” in 1905, 1907-1909, 1911, 1915-1921, and 1923; from “Sumner Strait 
and Whitewater Bay” in 1919; from “Tenakee Inlet and Freshwater Bay” in 1918; 
and from “Chatham Strait and Tenakee Inlet” in 1918. The catches at Falls Bay in 
1919 and 1920, and from Falls Creek in 1914, 1915, and 1921 were combined with the 
catches from Cascade Bay and shown in the table under the name of Falls Creek Bay; 
catches from Gypsum Cove were added to those from Iyoukeen Cove; those from 
Keep Bay with the Kelp Bay catches. Kootznahoo Inlet data include catches from 
Calico Bay in 1926 and 1927, from Kanalku Bay in 1927, and from Mitchell Bay in 
1920 and 1926. The catch reported from South Pass in 1927 was combined with that 
from South Passage Point; WTiite Rock catches include those from Whiterock Bay 
in 1925; Point Kingsmill catches were combined with those from Kingsmill Beach 
and Shore in 1919, 1922, and 1925-1927. Tebenkof Bay catches include those 
reported from Kuiu Bay in 1904-1907, 1909-1911, 1913-1917, 1922, 1925, and 1926, 
from Kuku Bay in 1914 and 1917, and from Kuaka Bay in 1905. The unallocated 
catches also include salmon reported from Cape Gray in 1923, Calheen and Point 
Wilson in 1919; Angoon in 1927 ; Drake Sound and Point Ellis in 1925; Killisnoo and 
Vogel Spit in 1917 ; Point Deloris in 1924; Soli Bay, Waterfall, and Port Lucy in 1927; 
Lull Point, Mile Rock, and “K & B ” in 1920; Game Cove and Poison Water in 1926; 
Lagoon in 1904; Baranof Island in 1923 and 1927 ; Kuiu Island in 1919 and 1920; Elk 
Point in 1914 and 1920; Boat Harbor in 1916; Port Conclusion in 1913, 1915, 1918, 
and 1922; and Port Alexander in 1918 and 1920. The unallocated catches also 
include part of the salmon reported from Frederick Sound, Keku and Chatham 
Straits and tributaries in 1913 ; from Saginaw Bay and Chatham Strait in 1912 ; from 
Chatham Strait and west coast of Prince of Wales Island in 1919; from Chatham 
Strait, Frederick Sound, and Stephens Passage in 1923; and from Chatham and 
Sumner Straits in 1914 and 1918. 
In the table are listed 41 localities in the northern part of Chatham Strait from 
which considerable numbers of salmon have been taken. Of these, 24 are trap loca- 
tions, 10 of which are on the east shore of Chichagof Island, 1 on the east shore of 
Baranof Island, and 13 on the west shore of Admiralty Island. The Chichagof 
locations are Point Augusta, East Point, False Bay, Iyoukeen Cove, Morris Reef, 
North Passage Point, Peninsula Point, Rocky Bay, South Passage Point, and WTiite 
Rock; the Baranof location is Point Thatcher; and the Admiralty locations are Point 
Caution, Distant Point, Fishery Point, Point Hepburn, Lone Tree Islet, Marble 
Bluff, Point Marsden, Moonshine Point, Parker Point, Rocky Point, Square Cove, 
Village Point, and Woody Point. Traps were also located at unnamed places on the 
shores of these islands and in some of the bays, notably Chaik, Freshwater, and Hood 
Bays, Tenakee Inlet, and Wilson Cove, and augmented the catches in these waters 
by many thousands of salmon. The catches along the shore of Mansfield Peninsula 
were also made by traps, but it was not possible to segregate them from other catches 
which were merely reported as coming from Chatham Strait, so they were included 
in the unallocated catches of the district, although it is recognized that they consti- 
tuted a considerable part of such catches. The traps on the east side of the strait 
made far better catches than those on the west side, showing very definitely that 
salmon coming from Icy Strait prefer the Admiralty shore, but the bulk of the catch 
was made north of Kootznahoo Inlet. The records certainly indicate that the traps
