MINOR SHELL-FISH.

[TO THE EDITOR OF TER "SPECTATOR."]

SIE,—Yours in re above, in the Spectator of August 21st, is slightly inaccurate as far as clams being unknown in the British Isles. I have found them often, particularly in Carlingford Lough between Warren Point and Rostrevor, also at Tramore, Co. Waterford, and have no doubt of their being common elsewhere.—I am, Sir, &C., SHELL-FISH.
