by timber and wooden goods, and 45 million kr. by fishery
products, thus together 65 % of the whole export. During the five
years 1871 to 1875, the annual export of timber and wooden
goods amounted to 45 million kr., and of fishery products to
42 million kr., making a total of 82 % of the whole exports.
From 1891 to 1895 the figures were 44 and 45 million kr. and
67 % respectively.

million kr. (in 1876-1877 we exported of this kind of goods, on
an average, for 10 million kr., from 1886 to 1890, for 26.7 million
