1.
Oyster seed, mostly two-year olds, attached to the wooden piles and the stones beneath Chequesset Inn wharf, Wellfleet, Mass. The abundance of the natural set on such objects indicates that successful spat collecting can be carried out in this locality. During severe winters the mortality is heavy, owing to the exposure between the tide lines; but these oysters have weathered two ordinary winters.
2.
Scene along the river front at Fairhaven, showing a quahaug shanty and several skiffs, which are used in raking the small seed quahaugs from the Acushnet River. Owing to the pollution within the restricted area, quahaugs can only be taken from this river for transplanting purposes. Since writing this report, an act was passed in 1911 whereby the city of New Bedford and the town of Fairhaven by a common board govern the taking of quahaugs from this section by licenses and by restrictions as to selling and transplanting
3.
Map of Wellfleet Bay showing the location between the tide lines of quahaug growth experiments 101 to 185. Many acres of flats are exposed, owing to the large rise and fall of the tide, which is about 10 3/4 feet. The average increase in volume for 84 betw in one year was 185 per cent., or over 2 3/4 bushels for every bushel planted.
4.
Squeteague : The...right side...of a specimen 200 mm. long taken September 7, 1900, in the Commission's net in Vineyard Sound... The nearly uniform distribution of color in the deeper layer of the skin seen after removal of the outer skin is represented... This deeper layer of color no longer enters into the general coloration owing to the formation of connective tissue between it and the outer layer.
5.
One of the propagation baskets with the bottom still submerged and photographed from directly above. Owing to disturbance of the water supply the young mussels, as shown by their trails, have migrated considerably. Such migrations apparently do not occur under ordinary conditions
6.
Nassa obsoleta (the little black winkle of the tide flats) devouring a scallop. These little scavengers swarm over the scallop. Occasionally one is active enough to get between the valves, forming a wedge which permits the entrance of others, which quickly consume the scallop. Owing to the alertness of the scallop and its different habitat (Nassa usually being found on the tide flats) little damage is done
7.
Native Food caches for stowing fish and other supplies for winter use. Usually these caches are filled with food each summer, but in the year 1900 owing to an epidemic of sickness they were empty and many natives starved the following winter
