the years (1887) 1892—1899. From 1900 onwards, these lists are divided into 3: fish from 

 Altona steamers, fish from Altona sea-fishing vesssels, fish from Altena Elbe fishing boats. 

 Lists are also given for all the years, of the fish received from inland and from foreign 

 countries (for the years (1887) 1892 — 96, this fish was designated "fish sent from Scan- 

 dinavia"). The last mentioned, and the fish landed from the Elbe are not taken account 

 of here. 



The total quantities of each species are given in pounds; but, for shellfish in numbers. 

 The latter are changed to kg. by means of the proportions, 10 oysters or 5 lobsters or 

 20 crabs weigh one kg. 



In the tables for 1892^99, the brill and lemon-sole are taken together; these are 

 divided up on the proportion that Vsrd of the weight is brill and ^/ards lemon-sole. 



In the same tables, the dab is taken with the plaice, but no attempt has been made 

 here to separate them. Further, cod and hake, rays and dogfish are taken together. The 

 first are counted here as cod, the latter as rays. 



The Altona statistics available, are for the years 1892 — 1903. 



Hamburg. In the annual reports on the most important fishes (plaice, soles, turbot, 

 haddock and cod), published by the D. Seefischerei-Verein, figures are given of the value of 

 the fish sold by auction in Hamburg, for the years 1892, 1893 and 1894. The quantities 

 have been calculated from the values, on the assumption that the average prices of fish at 

 Hamburg agree in general with those at the other ports. 



The statistics received by the Bureau (see p. 45), distinguish the following: soles, 

 turbot, brill, plaice, haddock and cod; then lobster and other shellfish; the remaining
