The marine fauna there I abundant, being n mixture of northern north-ern and subtropical forms. Many ot the molluscs, sea-urchln. and cephalopoda are collided by the Chinee Chi-nee e fishermen, then canned, nnd tent In China wbcro they are used as food. "The Chinese boats go out by night with neta aud pltchplne torches, which aro hung over the boat's side to lure the squid. The squids aro dried and shipped to Chtnn to be med as food and alao as fertilizer. Tbe duty on fertiliser fer-tiliser In China Is low, the duty on salt high. lly mixing a little dried squid with a great deal ot rait and calling It fertilizer a considerable amount of salt finds Its way into tbe celestial kingdom at n low duty rate." |
