For full particulars respecting this industry, including value of manufactures or productions, see special table, post.

(⁵) One in connection with iron foundry.
(⁶) Two in connection with other industries. Value of manufactures not stated in one case.
(⁷) Value of manufactures not stated in one case.
(⁸) These totals represent the full amounts for all the above-specified industries (excepting that the value of lands used for mining is not included, and that the values of Crown lands have been omitted throughout). They are in excess of the separate details if added together, as the values are not given when the number of any particular industry is so small that the particulars of that industry would be identified.
(⁹) The value of buildings, machinery, and plant connected with flax-mills and quartz-crushing works not returned in 1881 or 1878.

NOTE.—At some establishments two or more distinct industries were carried on. In such cases each industry has been counted for the purposes of the above table, but, if the particulars of power, hands, and plant employed were not separately shown in any return, the whole have been treated as belonging to the most important work.
