58 BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF 



As the dredgings were done in the morning and we conld 

 return, most of the common forms were checked up that day. 

 The forms readily understood were generally noted while 

 sorting and were not brought back to the laboratory. As 

 these forms were checked up, they w^ere entered by each indi- 

 vidual on the dredging sheet, thus insuring an accurate record 

 of each dredging w^ithout having to refer to notebooks or 

 other memoranda; in other words, each dredging sheet told 

 exactly what was done without any further explanation. Fig- 

 ure 23 shows a dredging sheet before being filled out. The 

 same general method was employed in shore and other work, 

 and figures 24 and 25 show^ Shore and Plankton sheets. 



AYhen a new station was established, a tack carrying a 

 number was at once put on the chart on the laboratory wall. 

 This not only served to show the stations and was constantly 

 referred to, but it also was of great assistance in laying out 

 the work which had always to conform to wind and tide. A 

 marked chart of this kind is absolutely necessary in the proper 

 checking of a region and should be worked in connection mth 

 a chart like figure 4 and other charts upon which are painted 

 in colors the different depths to serve as a ready reference. 



Figure 2 is a reproduction of the chart for the eastern side 

 of the Bay, with the numbers of the Dredging Stations marked 

 on it. Those on the western side of the Island are not put 

 on the chart, for they are but few and that part of the Region 

 will be covered later. A list of them follows, as does a list of 

 the test dredgings taken toward the eastward as far as 

 Chandler's Bay. 



For ready reference a list is also given show^ing the num- 

 bers, depth, and bottom of the dredging stations, for on 

 account of the inequality of the bottom and the fact that we 

 do not always find it as marked on the chart might lead one 

 astray. All depths shown are in feet. Dredging station num- 

 bers are preceded by a D, those of the Shore stations by an 

 S and the Plankton bv a P.
