in the Lim Fjord, which would make it desirable to get the hands free as soon 
as possible in order to make the necessary provisions. It might also be considered 
to the purpose, to oblige the eventual lessees to give yearly reports on the banks 
and on the progress and extent of the fishery, by means of which important con- 
tributions towards a more complete and more trustworthy knowledge of the condi- 
tions could be obtained. 
My lack of training in the preparation of charts does not permit me to 
follow out the wish of the Office to have a chart of the oyster banks in the Lim 
Fjord. But if the Office would kindly have a chart prepared of the western 
part of the Lim Fjord, on whatever scale might be considered suitable, I am 
very willing to mark off on it the oyster banks know to me. 
6) Å report on my two resultless journeys to Frederikshavn in order to 
take part in an inspection of the »fladstrand« banks, will be sent in later. 
I enclose herewith the papers entrusted to me hy the Office, concerning 
both the »fladstrand« and the Lim Fjord. There is likewise included a detailed 
statement with appendices so far as was convenient and possible of the travelling 
expenses: 136 Rd. 1 Mk. 7 Sk., in which the surplus of the 150 Kd. namely 13 
xd. 4 Mk. 9 Sk. is also entered. 
Lastly, I beg respectfully to suggest that the allowance voted for my 
investigation, 50 Rd., might be forwarded to me.

H. Krøyer's Report 1853. 
Alter inspecting the »fladstrand« oyster hanks in company with Kammer- 
assessor, Herredsfoged Saxild, and drawn up a report as to their condition —- 
which report makes it unnecessary to discuss the subject here — I travelled from 
Frederikshavn to Sundby in order to continue the journey with the S. S. »Lim- 
fjorden« to the parts of the fjord which possess oysters banks. The weather with 
continuous storm and rain proved however to be extremely unfavourable for their 
investigation. After waiting a day at Nykjøbing without being able to get at the 
nearest banks, I resolved for the reason mentioned to go on to Struer and Lem- 
vig, and to put off the imvestigation of Harrevig until the return journey. 
Although the weather continued to be on the whole unfavourable, I suc- 
ceeded during a short break in the storms in investigating the Lemvig banks as 
sufficiently almost as was wanted. But as the weather on my return to Nykjøbing 
had not become any milder, I was obliged to travel by carriage to Sallingsund 
and from there to Harrevig, and then endeavour with a boat to make a survey 
of the banks. 
The results which seem to me to have been obtained, in spite of the 
unfavourable weather, are as follows:
