In all areas the run is much more prolonged than that of the other species, and 
there are no extreme peaks of occurrence. The highest percentages for any single 
week in the district north of Sandy Point or in Rosario Strait occur in the first week 
of July. There is an additional run in these areas in late August and September, 
especially in the more northern one. West Beach, where the catches probably con- 
tain a considerable mixture of populations, shows a similar peak in that week, but 
there is no indication of the late-season run. The southern areas show proportion- 
ately higher percentages in the early part of the season, a peak early in August, and 
an abrupt decrease thereafter. There is also no indication of a late run in these 
areas. 
SEASONAL OCCURRENCE OF RED AND WHITE KING SALMON 
Thus far the runs of king salmon have been treated as entities, but some of the 
distinct differences between their occurrence in northern and southern areas may be 
explained by a consideration of the proportionate runs of red and white kings in these 
districts. 
The catches of king salmon from certain traps in the region have been segregated 
as to red and white kings by the operators, especially where the fish were sold for mar- 
ket purposes. Such a segregation into only two classes undoubtedly introduces some 
errors in the determination of the proper classification of the individuals which inter- 
grade between the color extremes of red and white. Grading has been purely on the
