 viz. in October, though also hore a shori time after Ihe l>eginning of the fshcri/. 

 W'hen the fishery commenced so late in Lavbjerg-Bredning, tiio reason was that 

 there is at this time not much more to ])e done atthe twootlier piaces, so they 

 prefer to go up here in tlieir boats wliere tlie tishis, eertainly, still smaller 

 than in tho two other expansions of the Fjord, but where they ean take now 

 as raany as 40 score a day. The fish weighed here, this year, only S'/l- — ^ 

 Ibs. the score, and the price was towards the end of the season 1'/, — 2* , 

 Kroner per fourscore, on an average only c. 2^ ,, Øre a piece, just what the
