Table LIII gives the yield of the rest of the fisheries in the districts- 

 of Nordland and Tromso. The fact that the quantity of oil in 1879 was 

 twice as great as in 1876, though the yield of fish from the summer and 

 autumn fisheries was the same, is due, in part, to the circumstance that 

 the home consumption of fish in 1879, because of the unsuccessful her- 

 ring fishery, was considerably greater, which, as a matter of (jourse^ 

 has had its influence on the quantity exported; and in part to the very 

 small fishery at Finmark in 1876, which again atiected the export of oil 

 from Tromso, some of whose fishermen bring home livers. This and the 

 prec ding table I have worked out irom a critical examination of the 

 difl^'erent fishery reports, and 1 believe that even if there be found some 

 errors of judgment, the statements may be regarded as tolerably correct 

 in the main features and in relation to the amount of tljc different 



items.
