to them come the 16 jersey factories and 37 roperies. These
last-mentioned [[** sjk bindestrek]] factories are chiefly found in the western part of the
country, especially at Bergen; the other branches of textile
industry are especially carried on in and near Kristiania and in
Southern Bergenhus county.

The next group, the paper, leather. and india rubber industries
owe their important position among our industries to the
production of wood-pulp, which commenced in the sixties, and to the
development of the paper industry, with which it was connected.
In 1895, the kingdom had 15 cellulose factories, 56 pulp-mills and
13 paper-mills, representing together about 81 % of the days’
work belonging to the group. The chemical wood-pulp (cellulose)
is mostly produced in Smaalenene, where probably the largest
manufacturing establishment of the country at the present time,
Borregaard Cellulose Factory, is situated, and in the counties of
Buskerud and Bratsberg, where the mechanical wood-pulp is of
the greatest importance. Of other establishments we may note 87
tanneries, most of them small, scattered all over the country and
a few factories intended for the paper industry.

Among the manufactories intended for the production of food
products and beverages,
etc., we must in the first place note 252
flour-mills, most of them small. On the other hand, 44 breweries and
40 tobacco-factories, which chiefly belong to the towns and are
especially largely represented in Kristiania, have each more days’
work than the whole flour-mill industrv. The tinning industry is of
particular importance at Stavanger, but is also represented in
Smaalenene, Hedemarken, etc. Among these factories we have also
reckoned the milk-condensing factories, which work chiefly for export.

Under the head of the working up of earth and stone, the 91
brick-kilns. 6 glass-works, 11 potteries and china factories and 17
lime-kilns play the most important part. About one half of the day’s [[** sic]]
work performed at the brick-kilns falls to the share of the counties
of Smaalenene and Akershus; 5 of the glass-works are situated
near the Kristiania Fjord, and one in the western part of the
country. At Ekersund there is a fairly large faience factory, and
at Porsgrund a rather large china factory. When we finally
mention a cement-mill situated near the Kristiania Fjord, we
have accounted for the most important establishments of this class.

In the metal industry, the chief establishments are: 4
horseshoe-nail factories situated near Kristiania, working largely for
