ANNUAL REPORT, SUPERINTENDENT OF 

 MARINE FISHERIES. 



To Hox. Thomas H. Guy, Deputy Conservation Commissioner: 



Sie. — Pursuant to the requirements of section 153 of the Con- 

 servation Law, I have the honor to present herewith a report cover- 

 ing the business of the Bureau of Marine Fisheries for the fiscal 

 year closing September 30, 1911. 



Hereto attached I beg to present the report of the engineer of 

 the Bureau of Marine Fisheries, from which it will be seen that 

 the triangulations made between Horton's Point and Orient Point 

 and Plum Island, about thirteen miles in length, were carried for- 

 ward, being a continuation of the coast survey between Port Jef- 

 ferson and Horton's Point, in which district thirty-six signals 

 were plotted and established. 



Sixty-one surveys of individual lots or tracts covering 6,992.2 

 acres were made, of which 2,192.2 acres are original surveys for 

 new leases and 4,700 acres are resurveys. Included in these were 

 thirty-six relocation surveys covering 255.5 acres in Raritan bay. 

 4,436.5 acres in Long Island sound and eight acres in Jamaica bay. 



Observation has shown that a number of signals need either 

 repair or replacement, and this work should be authorized in the 

 coming year.
