Pole, Ruins Point, Twin Island, Warren Channel, and Warren Island; in the latter 
are Point Barrie, Calder Bay, Shipley Bay, Shakan Bay, and Totem Bay. All other 
localities in this district were fished chiefly by seines. In correcting errors in the 
spelling of names and allocation of catches, and in disposing of catches reported from 
several unknown or unimportant localities, it was necessary to make a number of 
changes, divisions, and combinations of data to avoid confusion and burdensome 
detail in the set-up of the table. For these reasons the catch at Point Baird in 1914 
was added to that at Point Barrie; that at Bears Paw in 1909 and 1919 and at 
Bear Creek in 1913 to Bear Harbor catches: that at Calder Creek in 1922 to Calder 
Bay; that at Aats Bay in 1916, Egg Harbor in 1914, and Carnation Island in 1922 
and 1924 to Coronation Island; that at Dry Pass from 1906 to 1927, and from Suter 
Bay in 1920 and 1924 to Sutter Creek; that at Logger Pass in 1925, Conclusion Har- 
bor in 1923, and Conclusion Island in 1917, 1919, and 1925 to Keku Strait; that at 
Bluff Island in 1925 and Shipley Bay trap in 1915 to Shipley Bay; that at Shakan 
Strait in 1909 and 1911-1916 to Shakan Bay; that at Blind Point in 1914, at Falls 
Creek in 1920, at Scow Bay in 1923, at Cross Creek in 1927, and at Dry Bay from 1918 
to 1927 to Wrangell Narrows. Catches reported from Chatham and Sumner 
Strait in 1914 and 1918, from Sumner Strait and Whitewater Bay in 1919, from 
Sumner Straight and Frederick Sound in 1914 and 1920, and from Clarence and 
Sumner Straits in 1913 and 1923 were also divided as equitably as possible and parts 
were included with the unallocated catches of the district. In addition, catches from 
36 other localities were added to the unallocated catches from Sumner Strait. In 
some cases these places were unknown while in others they were far too general for 
use as specific localities. They are as follows : Sunshine Harbor in 1908, Rock Stream 
in 1909, Martin Creek and Reef Bay in 1910, Mountain Creek in 1911, Back Island in 
1912, Gill Creek in 1911 and 1913, Seward Point and Warm Cove in 1914, Shoe Bay 
in 1915, Buoy Bay, Port Baginal and Queen Bay in 1913, Kuiu Island in 1915, 1916, 
and 1917, Mitkof Island, Hooks Bay, Indian Cove, and Whitewater Pass in 1917, 
Alvin Bay in 1913 and 1918, Whitestone Creek in 1918, Athletic Islands, Denny 
Creek, Kam Bay, One Eye, and Sockeye Creek in 1919, Keekan Point, Region, and 
Will Passage in 1920, Lower Bay and Whitefish Bay in 1921, Sulzer Bay in 1914 and 
1922, Baht Harbor in 1923, Todals Creek in 1924, No Name Island in 1920 and 1925, 
and Aetna Bay in 1926. The total catch of salmon in the Sumner Strait district, as 
thus determined, is shown in table 18.
