Abstract
All surveys of a coastal region should be based on the £net that shore lines shift their positions, thereby changing land ownership. This applies with particular force to New Jersey, for it is almost surrounded by water. The shore line is a property boundary and its variations, within historic times, arc most interesting to the physiographer, the surveyor, and the civil engineer. Probably these changes are not in fact more extensive than have occurred in other ocean-front States, but the relatively high degree of development of the New Jersey Coast has compelled the study of shore-line variations and of measures to preclude radical change of contour. The only means of measuring the changes in shore line is by executi1ig repeated surveys referred to a common datum.
