1 The figures included in this appendix were collected from the statistical 

 summaries of the whaling industry which were published in January of each 

 year by the Whalemen's Shipping List. Throughout each year this accepted 

 organ of the whale fishery gathered its statistical material with care and 

 systematic precision ; and its summaries were considered authoritative by those 

 who were familiar with the industry.
