The returns and remarks in trade journals with 

 reference to Billing-sgate are reflected in tlie statements 

 made in the Annual Reports of tlie Inspectors of 

 Fisheries for England and Wales. Tlius one finds that 

 practically the only ports wliere whelk-fishing is carried 

 on are situated between Grimsby and Southampton. 

 This probably means that the fishery is governed by the 

 presence of a large market for the mollusc in the south- 

 eastern area of England.
