8 Report of the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners. 



nent record of the work oi the Commission and the Federal Gov- 

 ernment in Worcester County for all future requirements of the 

 courts. The charts, three in number, show all legal bounaries of the 

 oyster bars within the adopted boundaries of the waters opened for 

 leasing with Worcester County, and the location of all landmarks 

 used as a foundation for the delineation of these various boundaries. 

 The report gives technical and legal descriptions of all oyster bar 

 and other boundaries, and descriptions of all landmarks shown on 

 the charts. 



The second publication consists of a set of five charts and a 

 technical report and forms a permanent record, similar in every way 

 to that for Worcester County, of the work of the Commission and 

 the Federal Government in Calvert County. It was filed in the office 

 of the Commission in Annapolis and in the office of the Clerk of the 

 Circuit Court for Calvert County, on December 14, 1909. 



CO-OPERATION. 



The Commission has continued to receive the same hearty co- 

 operation in its field work from the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- 

 vey, the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, the State Fishery Force, and 

 Boards of County Commissioners which it has hitherto received. 

 A full statement of the extent of this co-operation and the Acts 

 authorizing it may be found in the First Report of the Shell Fish 

 Commission, pages 17 to 26. A statement concerning the assistance 

 rendered by the Coast and Geodetic. Survey and the Bureau of Fish- 

 eries may be found also in the reports published by the Coast and 

 Geodetic Survey, entitled "Survey of Oyster Bars." 



The names of the men appointed by the boards of County Com- 

 missioners to accompany the Chief Engineer during the survey of 

 their respective counties and point out the approximate location of 

 the oyster bars and select the stations on each ground at which 

 examinations are made, are : Wilson F. Stevens, Bengies, Md., 

 for Baltimore County; Samuel Collier, Rock Hall, Md, for Kent 

 County; Charles W. Hopkins, Stevensville, for Queen Anne's 

 County. From these gentlemen the Commission has received much 

 information and help beyond that contemplated in the Act provid- 

 ing for their services, and it gladly acknowledges its appreciation of 

 this and many courtesies.
