Note. — The above figures are subject to revision. 



Since tills table-shows that 91 per cent, of the catching power, whether estimateil by the number of vo^^els or the 

 number of days absent from port, landed at Ports on the East Coast 104,975 cwts. of plaice, it would seem fair to assume 

 that of 8S7,590 cwts. lanJed m Enoland and Wales during 1903, between 110,000 and 115,000 (-.rts. came from wiLers 

 beyond the North Sea, i.e., Iceland, Faroe, itc.
