  — 
  Pursuant 
  to 
  the 
  requirements 
  of 
  section 
  188, 
  chapter

   of 
  the 
  Consolidated 
  Laws, 
  I 
  have 
  the 
  honor 
  to 
  present 
  herewith 
  

   a 
  report 
  covering 
  the 
  business 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Marine 
  Fisheries 
  

   for 
  the 
  fiscal 
  year 
  lately 
  closed. 
  

  

  This 
  report 
  covers 
  the 
  second 
  full 
  year 
  of 
  operation 
  under 
  the 
  

   Marine 
  Fisheries 
  Law 
  of 
  1908 
  (re-enacted 
  as 
  Article 
  XII 
  of 
  chap- 
  

   ter 
  24 
  of 
  the 
  Laws 
  of 
  1909). 
  

  

  Business 
  of 
  the 
  Year 
  

  

  Surveys. 
  — 
  As 
  was 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  1909 
  report 
  of 
  your 
  Superin- 
  

   tendent, 
  the 
  principal 
  operations 
  during 
  that 
  year 
  were 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  

   coast 
  line 
  of 
  Long 
  Island 
  between 
  Port 
  Jefferson 
  and 
  Horton's 
  

   Point, 
  sixty 
  signals 
  having 
  been 
  located 
  within 
  these 
  limits, 
  includ- 
  

   ing 
  some 
  Lmited 
  States 
  coast 
  and 
  geodetic 
  points. 
  The 
  stretch 
  of 
  

   shore 
  covered 
  about 
  thirty-six 
  miles. 
  The 
  completion 
  of 
  this 
  work 
  

   opened 
  up 
  a 
  large 
  area 
  of 
  lands 
  under 
  water 
  for 
  future 
  shellfish 
  

   cultivation. 
  All 
  of 
  the 
  triangulation 
  work 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  marked 
  

   out 
  for 
  the 
  year 
  was 
  fully 
  completed 
  before 
  the 
  close 
  of 
  the 
  season, 
  

   thus 
  affording 
  an 
  opportunity 
  to 
  make 
  substantial 
  progress 
  on 
  pre- 
  

   liminary 
  work 
  upon 
  the 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  system 
  from 
  Horton's 
  

   Point 
  easterly 
  to 
  Orient 
  Point, 
  which 
  is 
  about 
  twelve 
  miles 
  from 
  

   Horton's 
  Point, 
  and 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  easterly 
  point 
  upon 
  the 
  northerly 
  

   side 
  of 
  Long 
  Island. 
  

  

  Following 
  along 
  the 
  line 
  as 
  planned 
  last 
  year 
  for 
  a 
  continuation 
  

   of 
  triangulation 
  survey, 
  the 
  work 
  has 
  been 
  and 
  is 
  now 
  being 
  done, 
  

   as 
  given 
  in 
  the 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  engineer 
  of 
  this 
  bureau.
