Before proceeding further with the discussion of the composition of 
the samples of fish we may note some of the figures for invertebrates. 
STATISTICS OF THE SAMPLES OF OYSTERS. 
The samples of oysters showed much wider variations than might 
have been anticipated, both in the proportions of edible substance, solid 
and liquids, to shell and in actual nutritive value. 
In Table IV, under the heading ‘In whole sample,” are given the per- 
centages of flesh, liquids, and refuse (shell, &c.), in the samples analyzed. 
Below the samples are arranged in the order of the percentages of these 
constituents by weight, those with the largest proportion of each coming 
first in the category.
