It is intended to prepare in a short time a special discussion on the 

 condition of the vessel fisheries of Massachusetts based on reports of 

 the local agents at Boston and Gloucester. Material is at hand show- 

 ing, for a series of years (1889 to 1894), the yield of different kinds of 

 fish on each of the important banks resorted to by the vessels landing 

 their fares in those cities, which, as has previously been stated, receive 

 fully seven-eighths of the offshore vessel catch of New England. 



REPORTS, SPECIAL PAPERS, ETC. 



The published reports relating to commercial fisheries, issued from this 

 division during the year, dealt chiefly with special subjects connected 

 with the fisheries. A number of general reports, however, dealing 

 with the fisheries of important geographical sections, were in course 

 of preparation or of printing, and will be shortly published. 



Among special data prepared by the division for use outside of 

 the regular reports were statistical tables showing the extent of the 

 fisheries of Maryland, for the Maryland Fish Commission, and printed 

 in its report for 1893; information regarding the American mackerel 

 fishery, for the Scotch Fishery Board, through the British embassy; a 

 large series of detailed tables relating to the salmon industry of the 

 Columbia River, for the use of the United States Fish Commissioner 

 in a report to Congress on the condition of the industry.
