Oysters are raised in Wareham River, and in Wa- 
quoit Bay and Cotuit Bayon Cape Cod. Adult 
specimens have been found in Hadley Harbor 
( Edwards) and the young are occasionally met 
with in the vicinity of Woods Hole. Shells 
were dredged by the Survey in from 2 to 19 
fathoms, being particularly common in the 
western end of Vineyard Sound, where they 
had probably been thrown overboard from 
passing vessels. Living specimens recorded 
from only two stations: once near the shore of 
Pasque Island (Bay side); again in Wareham 
River.

Distribution general throughout the region; 
almost equally abundant in the Bay and Sound. 
Shells dredged by the Survey in 1 to 25 fath- 
oms, on bottoms of all kinds; living specimens 
taken in 2 to 9 fathoms, though comparatively 
seldom at these depths. Especially abundant 
near low-water mark, adhering to stones or to 
other shells.
