* Owing to the close connection existing between the shore and the vessel fisheries for oysters, it has 
been found impracticable to separate them, and for convenience the catch is credited to the shore 
fishery in the table. In other tables, where it has been necessary to separate them, an allowance of 
one-half has been made for each fishery. 
t The figures given represent onlji the output of the shell beds in the Housatonic River, in addition 
to which large quantities of shells were also utilized which do not appear in the table because they 
have already been included in the value of the oysters. In 1887 the amount handled was 40,632,000 
pounds, valued at $36,960 ; in 1888 the amount was 47,475,000 pounds, valued at $47,445. These quanti- 
ties represent 812,640 bushels and 949,500 bushels, respectively. 
J The value of 1,600 seal skins.
