my method was devised too late to
put in operation this year, but it has
been demonstrated by the different ex-
periments made, by my own expert
ments in 1882, by Mather's experiments
this year at Cold Springs, where water
was pumped through the shells or
Clutch, and by the results of Brooks
work. Brooks suspended his collectors
on the surface and got shells thickly
covered with spat. In my own expert
ments in 1882, in conjunction with Nc
Donald, in apparatus not more than a
square yard, in "a hours, we obtained
100000 spat. My present conclusions
are based on observations 1 made at
different places. The observations, on
which my conclusions as to three d.
mansions are mainly based, were made
upon the work in the Chesapeake re-
gion, where 1 found that. on the brush
used as collectors, the spat would

you could range 500 of the eggs OF
fry in the space of an inch," said the
scientist. The oyster lives "a hours
as free swimming embryo. Then it
begins to form IFS valves, and, if it has
not attached itself, sinks to the bot
tom and perishes there"
"Is not the loss or waste of the fry,
when left to natures processes, very
larger" asked the reporter.
'The losses prior to fixation are very
great. BY enroomusly increasing the
cultch or spatting surface, however,
we can reduce the loss to the mini
mum. Prof. Moebius made calcula-
ton as to the oysters of Europe, that
only one egg out of l, 100000 ever comes
to maturity. AS the American oyster
is fully four times as prolific, the losses,
under natural conditions, are rela-
lively much greater. The oyster has
a great many enemies, such as the
drills and star fishes. Then they are
often so crowded that thousands are
killed."
"Has observation shown that there
is need of recourse to artificial cul-
ture to keep up the supply?"

tons by the Fish Hawk showed that
