* Of these vessels, 4 steam “ fleeters” and 82 smacks may really be eliminated, as 
belonging to a company which fleets all the year round, and lands its fish at London by 
steam cutters. 
+ Of this number 71 sometimes trawling, at other times drift-netting. 
~ Mr. B. M. Bradbeer (in litt., 19/2/95) remarks that there are between 30 and 40 Rams- 
gate trawlers which work from Lowestoft. Column ii (from Board of ‘Trade Returns for 
1893) is therefore too low for the present year.
