The Oyster She'll.

81 Every one who has handled ain oyster
shell must have. noticed thessucc essixe
layers overlapping each other. These
are technically named shots, and each
one marks d years growth. 30. that by
counting them the age of the oyster
can {{,be determined. Up ltost the, time
of its maturitythat Is. when four
years Of age rthe shots are regular and
successive, but after that time they
become irregular and are piled one
upon another SO that the shell becomes
bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters
have been seen Of which each shell
was nine inches thick, whence they
may be guessed to be more than 900
