BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
In order to determine the proportionate occurrence of red and white kings in both 
northern and southern runs, the weekly percentages of kings from table 43 were 
divided as to proportion of red and white kings on the basis of the data presented in 
table 45. Since percentages were not available for the entire area north of Sandy 
Point, a combination of the Haro Strait and Birch Bay proportions were used for this 
northern district. Proportionate seasonal occurrence in the area north of Sandy Point 
is shown graphically in the upper section of figure 28, that of Admiralty Inlet in the 
lower section of the same figure.

The two peaks of occurrence of red kings, in early July and in late August, in the 
northern area may be compared to the sustained run in the southern area, where the 
highest percentages occur in early August. The run in both areas diminishes 
uniformly during late August and early September. 
The run of white kings in the northern area is in striking contrast to that of 
Admiralty Inlet. In the latter area the white kings form a very small proportion of 
the run and are distributed throughout the season. In the northern area, however, 
they form a considerable portion of the run in the early part of the season, become 
increasingly important in midsummer, and form the major part of the run from early 
September to the end of the season. It thus appears that the more prolonged 
occurrence of king salmon in the northern areas is due to the presence of a considerable 
run of white kings, and that the major portion of white kings caught in the region 
must have been contributed by the populations of the Gulf of Georgia streams.
