REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OF FISH AND FISHERIES. 



[22] 



Table X hardly needs explanation after all that has been said above. 

 The arrangement of the specimens in the order of their amounts of actual 

 nutrients is correct for these particular specimens, but, as was said re- 

 garding the previous tables, analyses of a larger number of specimens 

 of each kind might give averages considerably different from the figures 

 here. 



The same remarks apply to the classification beyond which is based 

 upon the amounts of nutrients in Table X. 



Further remarks upon the comparative nutritive values of fish, in- 

 vertebrates, and other food materials may be found beyond. 



Table X. — Percentages of refuse, water, and nutritive ingredients in specimens of Ameri- 

 can food-fishes, invertebrates, ^c, as found in the markets. 



[Arranged in order, from those with the largest to those with the smallest proportion of nutrients.] 



Kinds of fleh, invertebrates, &c., and 

 portions taken for analyses.
