*The statistics in this statement are obtained from the followiDg sources : For the years 1821 to 1841 

 from Sabine's "Report on the American Fisheries" ; for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1850 to 1855, 

 1867, 1868, and 1872 to 1881, from the annual reports of the United States Burean of Statistics; for the 

 years 1856 to 1866, 1869, 1870, and 1871, from sheets published in 1879 by W. R. Clark, and believed to be 

 compiled from United States custom-house records. Mr. Clark's statinties are the most reliable we 

 have obtained for the years for which we quote them, as the returns of the United States Bureau of 

 Statistics do not give the desired details tor those years.
