Tal)le LVll shows the proportion between the different kinds of fish- 

 ernien and the yiehl of the methods in the hist five years. In the last 

 three years the nse of lines has given proportionally the best yield. A 

 comparison of the last nine years shows that the nse of lines has given 

 t\\it most certain yield, since there were only two years — 187G and 1877 

 — wherein the catch was j)roportionally small in relation to the number 

 of line-fishermen, while the nse of nets has furnished a relatively small 

 yield in six of the nine years.

 years. This year a factory was erected with English capital in Bret-

 dissolved.
