in 1897, its amount being in the order of the stations as
_
follows:—19, 120, 2, 6, 98, 121.
Judged by the averages for ‘
the rst ve years, the most productive stations were V. II. and
f“
IV., whereas in the second period the order was IV. V. and VI.,
;
the highest average of the whole series occurring at IV.
The average for all the stations during the rst ve years
-_
was
170, or 108 saleable and 61 unsaleable, while during the
second period (1892—1897) the average was 192, an increase
of 22, composed of 122 saleable and 69 unsaleable.
The
question as‘ to whether this increase was due to the closure or
"
to the nature of the working—periods is best answered by a
.
reference to Table XIX., where it appears that all the hauls in
'
the productive month of October are conned to the second
period. It is true one haul in April, with an average
of
—
only 35 handicaps “this period, but there were 11 hauls in
July against 6 in the rst period, 7 against 6 in August.
.
Moreover, though 12 hauls occurred in November in the second
_"ï
period, their average was equal to that in May. The advantage »
of 12 hauls in September in the rst period against 6 in-the
'
second period could not obliterate the foreg0ing advantages.
The closure, therefore, here as elsewhere, had no evident

inuence on the area.

During the same months of 1897, 19 hauls of the trawl
