* According to the usual estimate at Hyannis, the box of fish weighs 300 pounds; the barrel 150. 

 t The record for 1871 only extends through August ; we therefore take tlie figures of 1870 for the 

 same months. 



The above table includes the shipments by Messrs. Taylor, Crocker, Lorinj?, Handy, 

 and others, and consist in greater part of fish taken with the line. The tionres for 

 June, July, August, September, and October, relate almost exclusively to blue-fish.
