untrawlable ground is 14% of this not including the Oyster Bank, but 28% including it. 

 The trawlable area is thus ca. 33,500 sq. miles or 1 15,^40 sq. kilometers, or if the Oyster 

 Bank is included in the rough ground, ca. 28,080 sq. miles or 106,480 sq. kilometers. 

 The quantities taken over these areas are shown in Table XI. 



Notes on the Table showing quantities of sole 



Denmark. The statistics give the quantities of soles sometimes in pounds, some- 

 times in numbers. Where both divisions occur, the corresponding values are given, and 

 from these values, the numbers have been changed to pounds and thence to kilograms 

 (Part I, p. 24). A small quantity of soles taken by the Kattegat cutters fishing in the 

 Skager Rak and North Sea, is included in the statistics for the Kattegat, and is not 

 represented here. 



Germany. The quantities for the earlier years are partly estimated (Part I, p. 46). 



The quantities stated represent the fish landed directly from the sea and sold at the 

 four chief ports, Hamburg, Altona, Geestemünde and Bremerhaven. A portion of the 

 coast fishery is excluded and likewise the imports. 



The reason for the exclusion of these is, partly that the actual amounts are uncer- 

 tain, partly because the same fish may have been entered in the returns elsewhere, 

 either in Germany or other countries. 



The statistics for' Geestemünde (since 1895) and Bremerhaven (since 1899) give the 

 quantities of soles landed in two classes, large and (medium +) small. The actual limits 

 between these classes are not stated. The relative proportions of these, calculated from 

 weight not numbers, are shown in the following table.

Holland. The quantities given for earlier years, are in part estimates. The pub- 

 lished statistics give the quantities in numbers, and three classes are made, large, medium 

 and small. The limits betveen these are not stated. The following table shows the 

 proportionate amounts of these different classes landed at Ijmuiden since 1896. 



For 1896, the quantities represent only the last six months of the year, viz. July to 

 December. The relative proportions by weight have been calculated from the equivalents 

 given for Holland (Part I, p. 73).
