DECREASE IN CLANS AND SCALLoPs.

THE SUPPLY BEING RAPIDLY DEPLETED ON THE
LONG ISLAND SHORE.
A decrease in the New-York State supply OF hard
and soft CLAIMS and of scallops is the subject of
report by DIR. James L. Kellogg published in the
bulletin of the New-York State Museum and IL
based upon personal inspection of the entire
of Long Island. The examination. the report says.
proved concusively that the accomplished depletion
Of the supply of CLAIMS and scanops the New
England coast is being repeated on the Long Island
coast.
At the eastern end of Long Island the shores Of
Peconic Bay and Gardiner Bay wonderfully
adapted for the growth OF the soft clam. and
thousands of bushels dug at the west end OF
PecOnic Bay and marketed there Nevery winter
There has been a noticeable dimnution in the sup
ply in recent years but ii has caused alarm
among the clam-dggers thus far. The shores OF
Shelter Island except the north shore. have pro-
duced many clans, but the supply there is said to
be falling off rapidly. An increase in the demand
for soft clans in the summer has been caused by
the increase in the summer population of Shelter
Island The report records the alleged curious fact
that while in New England the soft clam used
extensively during the summer months in the
popular cambake there is very little demand for IT
anywhere on Long Island during that season.
From Sag Harbor Fort Pond Bay there are
many small bays and inlets containing a supply OF
soft CLANS which has been regarded as practically
inexhaustble Comparatively few clans are sent
70 NewICrk from that part OF the island, but many
marketed New-LondOn and other New-E,ng-
land centres for distribution. "A great number are
used for bait by fishermen. The supply Is stl
great, but il is the testimony of cam-diggers along
that part of the Long Island coast that the clam
beds being depleted and ruined gradually.
On the south shore of Long Island. from Montauk
Point to ROckaway Beach where the surf rolls con-
stantly on the reach of sand, the conditions
nowhere favorable for the growth of either the hard
soft clam. Few clans are dug in the Great South
Bay or in the bays near ii. but Jamaica Bay con-
tatns a large supply OF clans. and many are dug
there every season and the New-York
market.
The report declares that II immediate steps are
taken TO prevent the further depletion the clam
beds the Long Island shores the destruction OF
the clam industry may be prevented, but attention
is called 10 the complete depletion Of clam beds

In most localities along the shore of Long Island
the supply is falling rapidly and unless these
methods of artificial propagation are introduced
must soon fail completely"

they have been killed by Illuminating

and conscientious rector OF the An
