seaweeds, furs and skins, oils, etc. Of the Pacific coast pilchard, that part 

 which is represented by the sardine pack (estimated at 120 pounds of fresh 

 fish per standard case of sardines) was included as human food; the remain- 

 der was treated as non-food. 



After these adjustments had been made, tables were set up in the same 

 manner as already described for all fishery products, viz., regional tables of 

 the actual canvasses of food fish only: Tables 48 to 51, Appendix; a table 

 composed of regional tables expanded by interpolation combined to a sub- 

 total annual series for the Atlantic-Gulf regions; and a grand total for the 

 whole country (seven regions). Table 40, Appendix, and Figs. 5 and 6 in the 

 text.
