12 INLAND FISHERIES. 



cated them upon its cliart, and determined tlieir ownership. The 

 report for 1899 contained a revision of these data for that year, 

 and during- the past season the traps have again been located and 

 have all been visited in the launch with the exception of those in 

 Sakonnet river and those off shore. We would repeat that the 

 equipment and maintenance of these appliances represent the in- 

 vestment of considerable capital and the employment of a large 

 number of men. A large proportion of the fish captured are con- 

 sumed beyond the limits of the State, and the list of cities to 

 which shipments are directly made indicates very clearly the repu- 

 tation which the State must enjoy as a fisheries centre. It is un- 

 necessary to arg'ue that large sums of money are brought into the 

 State through the activities of those immediately interested in 

 this industry. A list of the principal owners of fish-traps is here 

 given, together wi^ih the localities at which the traps are set.
