Figure 7.— Recaptures made east of longitude 72° 40' W. of cod tagged off Woods Hole and off No Mans Land, Mass. The dark 
symbols represent tagging localities and the open symbols recapture localities. The number of recaptures is given where more 
than one 
In general, these results closely parallel those of Smith (1 902) in that many of 
the cod remained off Rhode Island throughout the winter (a few through the sum- 
mer), some went westward early in winter, and others were recaptured to the east- 
ward in the spring. There was no evidence that any cod went through Nantucket 
Sound. (Fig. 7.)
