Islands in 1875, the right of fishing was retain- ed by Japan. Though hampered by the ins convenience of working sader foreign 'regula- tions, the Japanese Sisking industry in the island had been increasing yearly-with, how-' ever, slight fluctuations. The total product of Y10,800 in 1876, was increased to Y134,000 io 1888, and to Y797,900 in 1897. But 1903 reached above one million mark, and it was then Y1,393,400. In 1906 - (the first year of the fipanere passession) ibe harvest was even greater, the total product then exceeding Y3,000,000, and in 1937: the herring industry alune was valued above Y3,000,030,......... and the prospects at very hopeful.'

The varieties of fish caught in Saghalien waters are very few,-berring, salmon-trout, salmon, and codfish are the staple products; founders and miscellaneous fish form quite an insignificant section. Of these varieties, her-
