DAUPHIN ISLAND BAY. 



Practically the entire bottom of this bay is sparsely covered with 

 oyster growth, but in only a few patches in the southeastern half is 

 the growth sufficiently productive to warrant tonging. 



The area and character of oyster growth and the estimated con- 

 tent of oysters in the bay are shown in the table foUowing.
