* This information, in regard to fishery-products othen than whale, is incomplete, owing to the fact 

 that there is no law requiring all products of the fisheries to be reported to the customs officers when 

 landed within a customs district. It is compiled chiefly from information obtained through the per- 

 sonal efforts and inquiries of the customs officers of the several ports from which it is practicable to 

 obtain returns.
