Plate XIV. 



Fig. I. — Fish Far Too Heavily Flaked. 



The fish can not be properly dried when so thick, and when roughly and carelessly pulled apart 

 they are greatly marred and damaged as they are packed. 



Fig. 2. — Fish so Thickly Flaked that they Become Glued Together in 



Drying. 



Entire sections of fish of this size and larger could be removed from flake. Note transverse cracks 

 on fish caused by excessive salting. (Castine fish.)
