i These data do not include recoveries reported from the point of tagging nor those doubtful as to location of capture. See text, 
p. 647. The original records of the tagging experiments from 1926 to 1930 are given in the reports of Rich and Suomela (1927), Rich 
and Morton (1929), and Rich (1932). 
From an inspection of column 5 in table 3 it will be seen that most of the pink 
salmon migrating along the west shore of Gravina Island early in July are bound for 
the northern localities in area 1 and the general localities in areas 3 and 4, there being 
only a small percentage of them taken in area 2. From an inspection of column 6 in 
table 3 it will be seen that most of the salmon migrating along this shore in the early 
part of August are also bound for the northern localities in area 1 and the general 
localities in areas 3 and 4. However, there is the appearance of a tendency for the 
fish to turn back from this shore to localities in area 2, which becomes quite marked 
later on in August. Evidence of this is afforded by the slight increase in the number 
of tagged individuals recovered from area 2 as reported from the August taggings. 
Further reference will be made to this tendency in the discussion immediately follow-
