15 I should also like to comment on the oyster 



16 larval tests, how well these people can prognosticate, and 



17 their use in the FWPCA report. In considering these oyster 



18 larval tests, it is important to distinguish between the 



19 validity of the test, per se , and the validity of generally 



20 applying results so derived to other species of aquatic 



21 life, even to closely related forms. I am here less con- 



22 cerned with the test as such than with the applications 



23 suggested in the report.
