INTRODUCTION. 
The imports of salt-fish into British Malabar are chiefly from Canara, or when duty has been 
charged from the Persian Gulf and Arabia. The exports are mostly to Tinnevelly and Colombo, 
the latter being subject to the duty shown. 
The Native States of Travancore and Cochin were formerly treated as foreign ports in this 
trade, but that has now ceased. 
“The statements (respecting' Malabar) have been revised, so that the quantities exported 
“ from one district port to another, and re-exported from the latter port do not appear twice over 
“ in the tables.” 
In the Native State of Cochin a considerable trade is carried on in dried and salt fish, 
but much larger, as the following returns will demonstrate, in the former than in the latter 
commodity:—
