amount of invested capital, and tlie largest and most valuable yield. The only vessel 
fishing in the State is carried on from this county, and in the catch of nearly all of 
the principal products — shad, oysters, shrimp, terrapin, etc. — it takes the lead. Glynn 
County ranks next to Chatham in the general importance of the industry, surpassing 
the latter in the extent of the mullet and squeteague fisheries. The other coast coun- 
ties in the order of their rank are Bryan, Camden, McIntosh, and Liberty.

The minor (mostly semi-professional) fishing on the rivers does not seem to require 
separation into counties.
