70 Report of the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners 



i 



the junction between grassy bottoms and oyster bottoms were 

 not followed in establishing the boundaries of the crabbing 

 grounds and oyster bars, but straight lines marking a mean 

 between them were fixed as the boundaries. 



The total area covered by crabbing grounds in Somerset 

 County is about 28,498 acres. The location and extent of these 

 grounds in the various sections of the county are given in the 

 general description of the results of the survey beginning on 

 page 145 and will be shown on the charts soon to be published 

 by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
