Abstract
    In 1925 I reported to an oyster company that “in 1924–25 the whelk-tingle (Ocinebra (Murex) erinacea) was very abundant and very destructive. In my experiment ‘A,’ fully half of the brood of 1924 were found bored by the whelk-tingle, and it was obvious that most of the young oysters had been attacked in the early summer of 1925, since many of those bored had put on new growth.”
