Table XII. — Andh/sls of oysters from Conimicnt Faint. 



Eiglit of the 25 oysters from the Conimicnt Point bed or 32 per 

 cent, were infected with I^. coli., and Bact. lactis-aerogenes was found 

 in three of the specimens. 



Returning to the eastern shore, a number of oysters were collected 

 on the laying-s directly south of Naj^att Point, at about the same dis- 

 tance from the Fields Point sewer as those taken from the Conimicnt 

 side. The channel keeps well over to the eastern shore at this point 

 in the river, and consequently the Nayatt beds are planted in about 

 20 feet of w^ater and in the course of a much stronger tide than 

 that which sweeps the Conimicnt shore. Fewer oysters from this bed 

 were found to be infected with sewage bacteria than from an}^ of the 

 beds previously examined. The accompanying tal)le gives the results 

 of these analyses:
