18 SIXTH REPORT OF THE SHELL FISH COMMISSIONERS 
point of intersection of two or more boundary lines of different 
owners, any person claiming such buoy to be out of place shall 
not move such buoy without giving at least five days’ notice in 
writing to the owner or owners of such adjacent or neighboring 
grounds as are affected thereby ; which notice shall specify the 
official number of the buoy and its claimed position ; and it shall 
also name the day and the hour when he shall remove such buoy 
to its true position. And any person moving such a buoy with- 
out such notice shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and 
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding ten dollars, or by im- 
prisonment in the county jail not exceeding ten days, or by both. 
SABELLARIA VULGARIS. 
As no further reports have reached the Commissioners in 
regard to the Sadbellaria Vulgaris, it is probable that no serious 
harm to the oysters has resulted from their presence. It is also 
quite probable that they have not appeared in unusual quantities 
on any of the beds except on the one deep water bed of Mr. 
Rowe. 
FINANCIAL, ETC. 
The financial account is hereto appended covering the finan- 
cial year ending June 30, 1886. This date should be remembered 
when reading the Commissioners’ report, as the latter extends to 
November 1, 1886. All the laws passed at the last session of the 
Legislature touching the oyster industry will be found in the 
Appendix; where also will be found extracts from the Engineer’s 
Annual Report to the Commissioners. 
All of which is respectfully submitted, this Nov. 1, 1886.
