CLAMS. 



With regard to clams the situation is similar to that of oysters 

 somewhat over a year ago. The same standard cannot, appar- 

 ently, be applied to both, and, as at present sold, opened clams 

 oftentimes contain far too much liquid. Of the samples collect- 

 ed along with the oysters last fall 55 per cent carried what 

 seemed to be an unnecessary amount of liquid. No prosecu- 

 tions were attempted but in the worst cases the dealers were 

 warned and it is hoped that the publicity given to the results 

 will have an effect on future sales. 



The same determinations were made as upon oysters and the 

 results are given in the followinsf table.
