Note. — The mackerel licenses have not been issued separately since 1867, when a general fishing 

 license was provided to replace cod and mackerel fisheries. 



41.— STATISTICS OF THE IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF FISH, FISH- 

 OIL, WHALEBONE, ETC., FOR TEN YEARS ENDING JUNE 30, 1882. 



By CHAS. W. SMILEY. 



• 



The following tables have been prepared from the annual reports of the 

 Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department, and are based on the 

 custom-house returns. 



Attention may be called to the importation duty free of 109, 737, 420 

 pounds of fresh fish, valued at $3,242,506. Nearly all of this came from 

 Canada under the treaty of Washington. 



The exports have constantly increased in quantity and value, due 

 doubtless in some degree to the successful participation of the United 

 States in the international fishery exhibitions held in Europe.
