Mr Consul Crowe (Report, 1870-71) supplies the following statistics of “domestic industry,” which, however, is confined to woollen articles:

1864. 1865. 1866. 1867. 1868. 1869.

The same Report shows:

“Total value of collective exports,Rds.1,103,936
Equal to, for each individual,”15·88

“The value, therefore, of an average year’s export of fish, farm-produce, and domestic industry was in 1870 $1,103,936; to this may be added the other known articles of export, such as”—

Eider-down,Rds. 38,064
Feathers,” 9,848
Horses,” 10,472
Salmon and other fish, swan-down, fox-skins, etc., ” 96,064
Making the total exports from the island,$1,200,000
Or, sterling,£133,333
Equal to about £1, 18s. 4d. per head of population.

The conclusion to which the reporter arrives from these tables is, that “nearly all the cod and roe is fished and exported from the western districts, and that the shark fishery and export of liver-oil takes place from the north side.
