Excerpt from Fortieth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Fisheries Made to the General Assembly at Its January Session, 1910 It is to be noted that the growth in numbers has been constant and fairly even up to 1908; the yearly increase being 2, 14, 16, 10, 34, 19, 20, 9, 22, and 6. During the last season the number has diminished by two. As two additional traps were set at Block Island, the total for the State is the same as for 1908. The increase has been general in the various portions of the State, though in some quarters it has been greater than in others. This is indicated in the following table: Prov. East West Mt. Hope Sakonnet River. Greenwich. Passage. Bay. River. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
