Abstract
IN a letter from Mr. J. T. Cunningham in your impression of NATURE of October 22 (p. 597) it is sought to show that the oyster does not rest on its left but on its right valve. The evidence which appears to him conclusive on this question is “that the right flat valve is always quite clean, while the convex valve is covered with worm-tubes (Stylea grossularia) and Hydroids.”
