Of the three si2es the following is the
result. ' A large dab appeared. about once in eight hauls in
"
1890 and about 1 in 3 in 1891 ; the average
for the medium in
1890 was 15 per haul_; in 1891, 18 per haul ; the average for
the unsaleable (under 7 inches) for 1890 was 13; _for 1891,

15 per haul.
The high average
of August '1890_(73) Was
composed mainly of those under 7 inches, whereas the highest
in 1891 (65) was more equally divided between medium and
