156 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. I913. 



The two last samples given in the table are scallops that 

 never had fresh water near them. They, however, had been 

 rinsed and probably soaked more or less in salt water. It is 

 probable that Maine scallops treated as outlined above would 

 carry not less than 20 per cent dry matter in the scallops, with 

 an average higher than that figure. 



The sample of scallops, 11117 in the table, were, from south- 

 ern waters and were shipped into the State. These had unques- 

 tionably been soaked in water. The Federal authorities are 

 now prosecuting the case.
