FOOD AND SALINITY TABLE. 



In making the table showing the results of the determina- 

 tions of the food value of the water and the amount available for 

 eaeh oyster, the general average of all the determinations made in 

 each locality has alone been given. All the determinations were 

 made at practically the same time in the year, so that th e_£ubli.- 

 cation of all the figures, or of monthly averages, would have no 

 value toward showing seasonal variations in the food supply.
