A tagged fish, reported to be a 4-pound black bass, was taken at Elgin 
| about May 10, 1932. The tag number was read incorrectly and the fish 
returned to the water. 
*™*0n Feb. 16, 1933 officers of the lowa State Fish and Game Commission 
' kindly forwarded a tag given them by an itinerant fisherman with the 
information that it was taken near Rockingham light on the Mississippi 
River about Aug. 16, 1932. This date is obviously incorrect since this 
\ fish was not tagged until Aug. 29, 1932. We have been unable to find 
|\ the fisherman, one Earl Thompson.
