The foregoing table, showing the quantities and value of the oysters exported from Moreton 

 and Wide Bays, has been reproduced from Mr. C. L. Fison's Report for the year 1890, as 

 Inspector of Oyster Fisheries, Moreton Bay district. The figures relating to the Brisbane ex- 

 ports, extending over a period of twenty years, furnish a practical illustration of the steadily 

 increasing value and extent of this highly important fishery.
