ed to B. B. French, Esq, clerk OF the House of
Representatives, for a copy of the report of Pro-
fessor A. D. Bache, Superintendent of the Coast
Survey, showing the progress ofthe work during
the year ending Nov. 1916.
We learn from this report that the shore line of
our coast has been divided into nine sections, for
the purpose Of the survey. The sections are as
follows -
the st Croix. to Point Judith including the coast Of
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island
No p from Point Judith to the capes of the Delaware
10 Cape Henopen) including the of the States Of
Connecticut, New York New Jersey Pennsy lvana and
No g. from the capes Of the Delaware to the capes of
the Chesapeake, Cspe Henry) including the coast of
No a. iom the capes Of the Chesapeake to Cape Fear
including the coast Of part of Virginia and the whole Of
Nos, from Cape Fear to Cumberland sound. (st
Marys riverD including the coast Of South Carolina and
No. 8, from Cumberland sound (st Marys river) to
st Josephs bay on the west coast of the peninsula of
No 7, from ST. Josephs bay to Dauphn Island at the
entrance to Mobile bay including the coast part Of Flo
Iidai and the whole OF the coast Of Alabama.
No. s, from Dauphih Island to Vermilon bay inclu-
ding the coast of Mississippi and considerable part of
No. 0, from Vermon bay to the boundary, including
the remainder Of the coast of Louisiana and the
or these sections the eastern (No " includes the
greatest extent of shore line but also presents the great
est facilities for the execution ofthe work.
The survey of one of the nine sections mo 2 in in
general completed and that Of six others mos g. a. g.
s. and 9 Is in progress The work remaining to be done
in No can be executed gradually, parties are dis
possible for It,
In sections and g. the work in full progress the
field parties being engaged in different portions of the
sechous. These embrace the coast of Maine New Hamp
shire Massachusetts and Rhode Island and of part Of
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
full beginning of the surveNk has been made in Nos
and g. embracing the coast Of North Carolina and mart
Of Virginia and the coast of Mississippi Louisiana
Reconnaissance Introductory to the operations in sec
lions and the of South Carolina and Georgia
and OF Texas have been ordered.
No one acquainted with the nature of this sur
veY, can question the immense advantages it will
confer on the country, and on our commerce.
In the year 1916 shoal, six miles south of anv
known danger, and lying directly in the usual
track of vessels between New York and Europe.
and in that often followed by coasting vessels be-
tween New England and New York, unmarked.
and hitherto unknown, has been discovered, and
located with accuracy. The discovery of this
shoal alone, will more than compensate for the
expense that has attended this work. 1t is limited
that the Steamship President was lost on this
shoai, ard it does not seem at all improbable.
We congratulate the country on the progress or
this work, and hope it will be completed without
reference to expense
