Table XVIII gives the number of hired men for the last three years 

 in the districts which have more than 100. The increase has been 

 greatest in Buksnaes and Vego, whose population almost exclusively 

 fishes from Balstad (Buksnaes). The increase from Tjoto is due to the 

 fleet therefrom fishing at Henuingsvaer.

Table XIX shows the number of fishermen engaged at the different 

 stations up to March 16, and their division according to the various 

 modes of fishing. In Brettesnaes there were very few. In Kabelvaag 

 there were 360 men less than last year, probably from the want of ac- 

 commodations beyond Bran den. 



In most other places the fleet was larger than last year, especially in 

 Henningsvasr, which had 511 men more; in Stamsund, which had 312 

 men more ; in S volvaer, which had 237 men more. 



All the stations had a full fleet; consequently, during the shiftings, 

 they became crowded.
