The Sound Resurvey.

The Extent of the Completed WOrk-Im-
 portant Practical ResuIts-Dan&erOus
 Rocks Discovered Unknown Before
 The Future Work.
 The resurvey of Long Island Sound, east ern end, has been completed from the merid- ian of Faulkner's Island eastward and includ- ing the approaches thereto as far east as Point Judith. This includes all the islands in that part of the Sound, Gardner's, Fish CTS, Plum and Block islands, etc., at the eastern end of the Sound. The work is done by the United States and Geodetic survey, under the direction of Prof. J. E. Hilgard, whose qualifications for the important work are beyond cavil and whose interest in it's behalf reflects upon him high honor. The re survey of Long Island Sound is part of g grand plan to be eventu ally consummated relative to the entire coast seaward and in- land of the entire country. At the western end of the Sound the work has been com pleted as far as Sands Point. Among the results of the work is the discovery of many rocks dangerous to navigation heretofore not down on the charts and unknown to navigators, such as bouIders in the East River above Port Morris between there and Fort Schuyler, and a rock above Port Morris with only fifteen feet of water on it and deep water all around it. The survey takes in all of Long Island Sound, also ten miles shore ward on each side of the Sound. and it is also Of interest to note that it includes the extending of the survey already done by 8 former New Ha- ven citizen, Prof Bache, in this vicinity some years ago. The resurvey will occupy three years more, and will be resumed as soon as the weather allows. Memorials are to be presented to Congress in furtherance of the enterprise by the New York and the New Haven chambers of commerce and by citizens of note and prominence living in the vicinity of Long Island Sound.
