"Figure 48. The exterior of the laboratory at Wellfleet, showing the hatching tubs.  This building, formerly an oyster house situated on the Chequesset Inn wharf, was provided in 1908 for the use of the department by Mr. L. D. Baker of Wellfleet.  One large room, 20 by 30 feet, is used for the laboratory, while two small rooms adjoining are utilized for sleeping quarters.  The situation over the water affords satisfactory facilities for experimental work on sea forms."
