Description
English: [Oysters] : The small oysters are natives from Yaquina bay, some of them showing the spat of this year attached to the shell. Of the two larger shells the rougher one is an average sized shell of a Virginia oyster from the New Jersey coast. As is well known, oysters from many other localities are decidedly larger than this. The smoother large shell is from an eastern oyster grown in Yaquina bay. This, again, is hardly representative, for I have been shown shells much larger
