Abstract
As your correspondent, Mr. J. T. Cunningham, expresses a doubt as to the evidence on which the current belief of conchologists is founded that oysters rest on the convex valve, I beg to inclose a cluster of three, brought to me among others from Torbay this morning. They are all attached by their convex valves, and confirm the descriptions of Messrs. Woodward, Jeffreys, and Huxley.
