SALMON TAGGING IN ALASKA, 1929 
189 
This is in accord with the record of the counting weir in the river emptying into English 
Bay, which shows the run to be an early one and accounts for the number of fish taken 
there from the first experiment. Three fish tagged June 14 were taken in the waters of 
the Kodiak Island group 20 days after they were tagged, and 2 were taken in Prince 
William Sound after 12 and 21 days of freedom.
