 for later identification. 



From 1931 through April 1933 the work was 

 confined largely to Georgia, though some 

 trawling was done in outside waters off north- 

 ern Florida. In Georgia, hauls were made 

 regularly in all sections of the fishery, in- 

 cluding salt-water rivers and creeks, sounds, 

 and the outside grounds. 



Operations in Georgia were curtailed in 

 May 1933, and work was extended to cover 

 outside waters in South Carolina and central 

 Florida, at a series of stations extending from 

 Cape Romain, S.C,, to Cape Kennedy, Fla. 

 Usually two hauls were made in each month 

 during the operations in each locality. The 

 localities (fig. 2) and months fished were as 

 follows, from north to south. 



South Carolina: 



1. Off Cape Romain- -September 1934 



through July 1935. 



2. Off Stono Inlet--May 1933 through July 



1935, except May through August 1934. 



3. Off Gaskin Banks or Fripp Inlet --same 



months as locality 2. 



Georgia: 



4. Off St. Catherines Island- -May 1933 



through July 1935, except May through 

 August 1934. 



5. Off Brunswick- -same months as locality 



4. 



6. Inside waters near Brunswick--same 



months as locality 4. 

 The above three localities are in addition 

 to the concentrated work in Georgia 

 from 1931 through April 1933. 



Florida: 



7. Off Fernandina--May 1933 through July 



1935, except May through August 1934. 



8. Off St. Johns River--May 1933 through 



April 1934, and August 1934. 



9. Off St. Augustine-.May 1933 through 



April 1935, except May through July 

 1934. 



10. Off New Smyrna --same months as local- 



ity 9. 



11. Off Cape Kennedy- -same months as 



locality 9.
