Of the total export of roe 15 per cent, is assumed to be of the second 

 quality. The cost of split cod may be estimated at 8.8 crowns ($2.36) 

 per 1,000.

Table LI shows the yield of fish in the Lofibdeii li.sliery at the dOwse 

 of each week for the last five years. In this, as also in the following 

 tables, certain items are wanting for 1878, since it has been hitherto 

 impossible to obtain a statement of medical taxes for this year. 



Table LI. — Yield of Loffoden fishei^y. 



Table LII shows the combined yield of the diflerent tish products 

 since 1873. The yield of fish in millions will be seen to correspond 

 nearly with the number of thousand barrels of roe. This year the in- 

 spection estimates 34 per cent, more roe proportionally than for the 

 preceding year. How far 1870 has been exceptional, or the estimate 

 of the inspection has been erroneous, can, however, not be determined 

 until the close of the year.
