N.B.—It should be explained (1) that the average working expenses given in the above Table embrace 

 outlay for coals, engine-room and other stores, wages of engineer and fireman, docking and painting, 

 maintenance of vessel (including machinery) and fishing gear (but excluding replacement of lost gear), 

 harbour dues, salesman's commission, etc."; and (2) that the figures contained in the Table are largely 

 estimates. 



As has been stated in former Reports, in those instances where the fishermen are not the 

 proprietors of the vessels worked by them they participate in the earnings derived from the prosecu- 

 tion of herring fishing to the extent of two-thirds, after meeting the worHng expenses, the fishermen 

 in each instance supplying the nets, etc. 



Statistics of the results of the operations of individual vessels have been omitted from the above 

 lable.
