  ISTative 
  oysters 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  limited 
  quantities, 
  and 
  are 
  peddled 
  

   through 
  the 
  back 
  country 
  at 
  3 
  cents 
  a 
  pound, 
  the 
  products 
  of 
  1895 
  

   amounting 
  to 
  25,740 
  pounds. 
  Native 
  oysters, 
  small 
  in 
  size 
  and 
  of 
  little 
  

   value, 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  limited 
  quantities 
  at 
  several 
  places 
  in 
  southern 
  Cali- 
  

   fornia, 
  but 
  are 
  gathered 
  only 
  at 
  Bolsa, 
  Orange 
  County, 
  as 
  here 
  shown. 
  

   Some 
  attemjjt 
  is 
  being 
  made 
  to 
  cultivate 
  the 
  California 
  oysters 
  in 
  the 
  

   waters 
  between 
  San 
  Pedro 
  and 
  Wilmington, 
  where 
  they 
  have 
  long 
  been 
  

   known 
  to 
  exist 
  in 
  very 
  limited 
  quantities. 
  The 
  so-called 
  native 
  ojsters 
  

   of 
  San 
  Francisco 
  Bay 
  are 
  natives 
  of 
  Washington^ 
  as 
  has 
  previously 
  

   been 
  mentioned. 
  

  

  SAN 
  DIEGO 
  COUNTY. 
  

  

  This 
  county 
  presents 
  but 
  few 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  fisheries 
  as 
  compared 
  

   with 
  1892. 
  The 
  total 
  product 
  of 
  1895, 
  amounting 
  to 
  1,374,491 
  pounds, 
  

   varies 
  but 
  little 
  from 
  that 
  last 
  given. 
  The 
  ten 
  small 
  vessels 
  of 
  from 
  5 
  

   to 
  10 
  tons 
  each, 
  that 
  formerly 
  were 
  extensively 
  engaged 
  in 
  the 
  fisheries, 
  

   are 
  now 
  mostly 
  engaged 
  in 
  bringing 
  guano 
  from 
  the 
  islands. 
  

  

  A 
  large 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  products 
  is 
  handled 
  fresh, 
  nearly 
  all 
  being 
  

   dressed. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  supplying 
  a 
  large 
  home 
  demand, 
  shipments 
  

   are 
  made 
  to 
  Los 
  Angeles 
  and 
  to 
  many 
  points 
  in 
  Arizona 
  and 
  ^STew 
  

   Mexico, 
  and, 
  to 
  a 
  small 
  extent, 
  in 
  Colorado. 
  The 
  catch 
  of 
  crayfish 
  or 
  

   spiny 
  lobsters 
  amounted 
  to 
  30,000 
  pounds, 
  of 
  which 
  small 
  shipments 
  

   were 
  made 
  to 
  the 
  City 
  of 
  Mexico, 
  the 
  crayfish 
  having 
  first 
  been 
  boiled 
  

   and 
  packed 
  in 
  ice.
