Mr. Editor: Please allow ma space enough to add a few additional facta to the article I wrote for your paper a few weeks ago on the "History of Fishing" In this sectien. The herring fishing seems to have been a very old industry even in Great Britain, Some authorities say it was going on during the time of the Spanish Armada, and Swinden in his history of the Antiquities of Great Yai mouth says that "herring fishing began there as early aa 495." It is now ens of the most important industries of the United Kingdom and the herring . fisheries of Scotland and Ireland are still world famed.

In speaking of fishing and the intro duction of seines into our waters Moore, our historian, says "at that time (1815) two northern men had introduced a long seine worked by windlasses and horse power at Lawrence's Point on the Chowan six miles below Cole- raine, and soon others were put in. Prior te this time the spring catch had always been effected by means of short float nets and weirs." This is evi dently a mistake. Seines were not only fished here prior to that time but in other places, for I find from the Cello nial Records a bill was introduced in the Assembly Deo. 18th, 1773, to pre vent the fishing of seines in New River, Onslow county, and the Rev.
