  for 
  shellfish 
  culture 
  and 
  preparing 
  the 
  necessary 
  papers 
  

   connected 
  therewith,

  My 
  principal 
  work 
  during 
  the 
  past 
  year 
  has 
  been 
  the 
  triangula- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  coast 
  line 
  between 
  Horton's 
  Point 
  and 
  Orient 
  Point, 
  

   Long 
  Island 
  Sound, 
  and 
  the 
  trianguiation 
  of 
  Hempstead 
  Harbor, 
  

   and 
  the 
  survey 
  of 
  oyster 
  lots 
  in 
  Long 
  Island 
  Sound, 
  Raritan 
  Bay 
  

   and 
  Hempstead 
  Harbor. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  trianguiation 
  survey 
  between 
  Horton's 
  Point 
  and 
  Orient 
  

   Point 
  and 
  Plum 
  Island, 
  about 
  thirteen 
  miles 
  in 
  length, 
  I 
  estab- 
  

   lished 
  and 
  located 
  thirty-six 
  signals, 
  three 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  tripods 
  and 
  

   the 
  remaining 
  thirty-two 
  natural 
  objects, 
  thus 
  saving 
  the 
  expense 
  

   of 
  erecting 
  tripods. 
  

  

  This 
  survey 
  is 
  in 
  continuation 
  of 
  the 
  coast 
  survey 
  between 
  Port 
  

   Jefferson 
  and 
  Horton's 
  Point. 
  The 
  thirty-five

  These 
  signals 
  are 
  located 
  along 
  the 
  coast 
  line 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  Horton's 
  Point 
  and 
  Plum 
  Island, 
  where 
  we 
  have 
  a 
  system 
  

   of 
  thousand-acre 
  townships 
  divided 
  into 
  one 
  hundred 
  ten-acre 
  lots, 
  

   thus 
  being 
  able 
  to 
  accommodate 
  the 
  applicant 
  for 
  large 
  or 
  small 
  

   acreage. 
  

  

  The 
  State 
  having 
  received 
  many 
  applications 
  for 
  leases 
  of 
  oyster 
  

   lands 
  under 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  Hempstead 
  Harbor 
  it 
  became 
  necessary 
  

   to 
  make 
  a 
  trianguiation 
  survey 
  of 
  the 
  entire 
  bay 
  with 
  a 
  coast 
  line 
  

   of 
  about 
  twelve 
  miles 
  and 
  to 
  designate 
  and 
  locate 
  signals 
  along 
  

   the 
  shores 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  surveying 
  the 
  lands 
  applied 
  for. 
  

   This 
  work 
  I 
  also 
  accomplished 
  the 
  past 
  season, 
  establishing 
  and 
  

   locating 
  thirty-two 
  signals 
  around 
  the 
  harbor,
