FLORIDA. 
The fisheries of the west coast of Florida are so much more importaut 
than those on the Atlantic shore of ihe State that the tables have been 
discussed under the Gulf fisheries rather than make separate sets of 
statistics for the two sections. In tables 2, 4, 6, 10, and 16, constituting 
a portion of the general statistics, in which the geographical divisions 
of the coast are observed, the figures for the two sides of the State have 
been included in their respective sections.
