SUPPLEMENT. 1265 



COMPLETE LIST OF THE SPECIES AND VARIETIES 



OF OYSTERS. 



The following list is obtained from numerous sources, 

 and for its completeness I am gratefully indebted to Mr. 

 G. B. Sowerby, whose name, in all that relates to Concho-

 may add that but for Mr. Sowerby's kind and valuable 

 assistance, I could not have rendered it so thoroughly 

 complete and up to date as it is.
