Show A CoititKsi'ONDENT of the San Francisco Alia at Magdalena Bay, Lower California, sends to that office tho branch of a tree thickly covered with oysters clinging closely to the bark. This novel "fruit" is found in great abundance in the locality from which our corresspondent writes, and the trees, which grow at the water's edge, partially submerged most of the time, are encrusted with a heavy growth of the bivalves. The specimen received at that office is about two inches in diameter, tho rough bark of which is well covered with oysters of fair size, though somewhat ancient by this time. |
