The natural oyster-bed found off Savin
Rock, in Long Island sound, last sum
mer, has since been extensively drawn
upon for young oysters. Ii has been
computed that 40, coo bushels have been
taken ont. IA to the bed itself, it Is OF
irregular form, stretching IN narrow
reaches in towards tho Sayin-Rock
beaches. The ground Is adjacent to
the private beds, but was not con-
sidered of sufficient importance TO be
taken up and cultivated. 1t ls estimated
that the entire area Of these grogths OF
natural oysters is from 400 to 800 acres.
The set was undoubtedly spawn from
private beds, which rest on small jingle
and silver shell on the sandy reaches. The
little fishes which inhabit these shells
are enemies OF the oyster family, and
prey upon them whenever occasion
offers. But the shells were uninhabited,
the little occupants having died, 50 the
embryo oysters were free to take up their
abode upon the outside of the shells.
