REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
set forth here to distinguish a shinnecock
rake from other devices used to catch
oysters and clams.

(L) "TONG" MEANS ANY PINCERS, NIPPERS, TONGS, OR
SIMILAR DEVICE OPERATED ENTIRELY BY HAND AND
CONSISTING OF TWO SHAFTS OR HANDLES AND A METAL BODY
COMPOSED OF TWO OPPOSABLE AND COMPLEMENTARY BASKETS
USED IN CATCHING OYSTERS AND CLAMS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Article 66C, section 696 (a) of the Code.

definition applicable to clams since clams
are caught with tongs. The only other
changes made are in style.
