* Include sprats, sparlings, and mackerel, returns of which are immaterial. 



t Skate, which scientifically are not classed amongst flat fish, were also included up to and 

 including 1905. As this fish is of much smaller value than the other fish included, the average 

 price of flat-fish w^as thus considerably lowered, but in 1906 this disturbing factor was removed 

 by the inclusion of skate in another column. 



X Comprise principally sillocks, lythe, and bream up to and including 1905. From 1906 

 onwards skate are included. 



§ Exclusive of shell-fish. 



iVo^e.— Round fish now comprise certain species of fish formerly included under " Un- 

 classified Fish."
