BULLETIN OF THE UNITED STATES FISH COMMISSION. 
STATISTICS. 
Imported fishery products being next to the largest in value of all the imports of 
Porto Rico, the following statistical tables will be found of much interest and impor- 
tance. The records were taken from the original entries at the several custom-houses 
of the island. In all cases where value is given it is on a basis of Spanish paper 
money, which has had a fluctuating value, the average during the time shown in the 
tables being some 60 cents on a dollar for gold. 
Table showing, from countries received and by ports of entry, the quantity, value, and duty paid on fishery 
products imported into Porto Rico in 1897.
