Increase of 2,298 cwts. 

 in quantity, and £-567 

 in value, compared with 

 1905 returns, mostly 

 referable to herrings. 

 .Shell-fish decreased. 



Increase in both quantity 

 and value. 



f Quantity landed 2,000 

 cwts. less than 1905, but 

 value over £400 higher. 

 The increased value is 

 due to the running of a 

 regular steamer by the 

 Congested Districts 

 Board. Instead of three 

 curers as formerly, nine 

 operated at Badachro, 

 while auction sales were 

 commenced for the first 

 time, and were conduct- 

 ed successfully. All 

 connected with the trade 

 appreciate the steamer 

 service, especially the 

 local fishermen, who have 

 done very well with the 

 U increased competition. 



Returns exhibit an im- 

 provement over those of 

 the previous year, and 

 j are about the average. 



Little done here. The fish- 

 ermen prosecute the 

 herring fishing at the 

 different lochs in the 

 district. Returns show 

 an improvement.
