Australian Oysters.

The, Australian mollusk is of two
kinds-the mud oyster and the rock
oyster u The former grows to larger
size, but the rock oyster is more gen.
orally esteemed for flavor. Their names
indicate their place of growth. The rock
oysters love the beds and adjoining
rocks of tidal streams. They grow in
clusters, in a variety Of shapes and sizes,
and each cluster is attached to some
thing solid. Here they are alternate
ly bathed in salt water and in fresh or
brackish. They are also left for hours
high and dry until the incoming tide
refreshes them. Nor do these oysters al
ways select rocks ON which to dwell
These accommodating mollusks may
frequently be found adhering to the
roots and lower branches of the man
grove and other trees which delight in
sort of submarine residence. 1t is
doubtless to this popularity that the
sailor referred when he wrote to his
mother at home, telling the old lady,
and not untruly, that in Australia oys-
tiers grow ON trees. Cham bers Journal
