EEPOET OF COMMISSTONEE OF FISH AND FISHERIES. [206] 



Newfoundland from 1853 to 1876. From this statement it appears that 

 the total exports of pickled mackerel to the United States amounts to 

 528,272 barrels, valued at $4,068,925. Comparing this quantity and 

 value with the imports into the United States during the same period 

 as given in Statement VIII, by the United States Bureau of Statistics, 

 we find the imports amount to 580,123 barrels, valued at $4,618,000. 

 Part of the discrepancy between those two statements may be ac- 

 counted for from the fact that the United States returns are for the fis- 

 cal years ended June 30, while the Canadian returns may be for the 

 calendar years.
