[From letter to Prof. S. F. Baird.] 



I enclose a memorandum showing the exports of the product of this 

 colony for the year ending July 31, 1882. It gives the catch of fish for 

 the year 1881, as at the date the memorandum was made up all the fish 

 caught in that year was exported. 



The catch for the present year is not so large, but the prices have 

 considerably increased.
