In glahcing at the returns (1892) of the Board, which were

handed iii by the late able Chairman (Mr Esslemont) to the
Select Committee in 1898, it would seem that one sh, viz.,

the green
cod or coal—sh, isincluded both amongst the round

shes and the ‘other kinds of sh,’ in the former having the
name
of ‘saithe’ (adult), and in the latter ‘sillocks’ (young),

but this is not a point of much importance
in regard to the
results;— As might be expected, the liners, and notably the
long-liners,- have the predominance
in the round—shes, especially
in regard to cod, ling, and conger,
the latter being apparently
caught in a trawl on the Eastern coast.
These large
shes, moreover, would appear
to protect themselves to a

extent from this apparatus, especially when it is in
frequent use, so that it is only in water that is disturbed by
gales or by working at night that they are caught 111 numbers
