Rings on Oyster Shells. A popular theory about rings, on an oyster shell being an indication of its age is not supported by the careful In vestigation of Miss Ann L. Massy, who tested specimens from the oyster sta tion at Ardfry, at the head of Galway' bay. It has been supposed by many that each ring, or group, on the oyster's deep valve stood for a year's growth. But Miss Massy says that this deduc tion is not reliable. After a patient scrutiny of over 600 samples of various ages, from eighteen months to six years, she says: "An oyster of eight een months or two summers appears to possess at least two rings, but may have as many as five. One of three summers has at least two rings and may have six. A four-year-old oyster may have only three rings or may pos sess seven or eight"—London Mail. f Life of an Arctlo Sealer.
