Colburn ha8 received the following letter from Captain Mosor of the United Stntes Fish Commission's steoinor AlbatrosB. It will bo remembered that Mr. Colburn ontortamed the Captain, officers and scientific nttaohes of tho ship by a railway excursion to his, Pearl Harbor residonco and a luau at that place, tcgothor with a samplo treat of his oysters, on the 18th of last November. The lettor of Captain Mosor explains itsolf : U. S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries, Steamer Albatross, Sau Diego, California, lGth Mnrch, 1897. Hon. John F. Colburn, Honolulu, Hawaii. My dear Mr. Colburn: In my report to the U. S. Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries on the opemtioiib of this vessel for tho Hix months ouding December 31, 18, I Haiil on the subject of "Oyster Culturo in Hawuii," tho following: ''Tliiit tlie oystor wnB a native of theso waters 'iud occurred in great numbers is eidonc6d by tho numerous oyster banks found iu different localities now raised abovo tho sea lovol and having an earthy covering. When visiting tho fish ponds on tho Pearl Lochs 1 examined tho ancient oyster banks on the eastern side of tho Middle Loch on the neck which joins Wnipu with tho mainland. The Bhorohne here consists of a vertical bluff from 10 to 15 feet high with a strata of oyster shells 0 to 8 feet thick. This strata is oxposed on the loch faco for fully half n milo aud can bo traced for a long distance across the ponin sula. I procured a numbor of specimens which havo boon for warded from which it may bo seen that they closoly resemble our own eastoru oyster. Theso aro not shell heaps liko those on our southern coast aud iu other localities, but aro eutiro, in situ, as both volvo4 aro usually iu place and can bo readily re moved. Thoy do not scorn to oc cur in masses or clusters, but aro largo single oysters iu size ro sembling tho bettor varieties of marketable Chesnpoako Day oysters. It is possible that theso oyster bnuks wore formed luyer by lnyor, tho upper ones smother ing tho lower until through somo natural eauso tho bedB wore cov ered with mud and nfterwards lifted abovo tho sea level. On this little, peninsula in two differ ent places I examined the remains of largo numbers of pearl oystors which soom to havo occurred in pockets amongst tho othor oysters. Tho sholls wore all so friable that no good specimens could be pro cured, but from tho mass of debris I was ablo to get sufliciont evidenco that thoy wore pearl oyster shells. I was also told that at tho present day a fow. poarl oysters aro found off lleck ouing Point. "Upon invitation of Hon. John F. Colburn, I visited his fish nud oystor pond on Poarl Lochs. The pond Loko Paauau on tho chart is his property and I think ho is tho only porson who is making any effort in oyster culturo on theso islands. In reply to an in quiry requesting information re lating to his efforts in oystor culture in Hawaii I quoto as follows: , (Hero I inserted a verbatim copy of your lettor to mo under dato of Nov. 19, 1890.) "From, the foregoing letter it will bo aeon that oyster culture in Hawaii is of vory modem dato and from my own observation in an experimental stage I think thero is no doubt that the waters aro suitable for oystor culturo: tho ancient beds and tho expo notice of Mr. Colburn attest it, but' experiment will alono dis cover tho proper conditions for n commercial enterprise. "I wont over the oystor beds with Mr. Colburn nud wo took from the water both transplanted oystors and thoso that had been propagated iu tho pond, specimens of which havo been forwarded. When takon from tho water thoy have a brownish apponranco which upon inspection proves to be a mossy growth on tho shell. They aro largo, well rounded, and wheu opened beautiful in np pearanco and of good ilaor. It is difficult to judgo the llavor of an oyster when one is not in a real oystor country. In Sau Francisco ono roli&hes tho eastern transplanted, when in Norfolk or Washington these same oysters would bo considered rather poor. "To my tasto Mr. Colburn's oystors had a slight flavor of tho moss or grass and they soonied to havo too much fresh wator, simi lar to some found along tho coast of North Carolina and olsewhoro, though the specific gravity, 1.01G988, toinperaturo 78 Fahr., does not indicate too much frh wator. "Theso oysters aro planted in a fish pond stocked with mullet. The bottom is soft and I boliove covered with grass. The gratings for tidal access aro vory small. Mr. Colburn deserves much praiso for the manner in which he has conducted this work, but it is my opinion that ho has not selected tho best ground in tho locality for oystor culturo. Tho fish in tho pond must necessarily dostroy tho spat; over a soft or grassy bottom with few spat col lectors, tho spat havo nothing to fasten to, and in confined areas of wator tho struggle for existonco must be vory great. "Off tho bluffs before alluded to where the ancient oystor beds are located tho water shoals graduolly and tho bottom appears to be not vory soft, and so far as I could see clear of grass. Proper ex ploration would probably dis cover othor grounds open to tho full tido and well adapted to oyster culturo. If then a favo rable selection of ground were mado and properly prepared with plenty of material for spat col lection, enclosed by suitable fonc iug and tho proper plants made, I believe thut tho oyster would bo successfully and profitably pro pagated in thoso waters. "Experiment alono would deter mine tho untural enemies to bo guarded against. Plants from the Gulf of California, whore tho con dilioiis aro somewhat similar to those of Hawaii, I believe would be more suitable than enstarun." I beg to ouolose herewith a copy of each photograph takcu upon tho occasion wheu yon entertained us so handsomely at n luau aud trust' it may servo as a pleasant remembrance of tho day. My on ly hope is that some day 1 may revisit dear old Hawaii whoro tho generous hospitality of my friends has made mo fool 'as though I woro at homo. With Aloha Nui to you all, believe mo, Very truly yours, Jr.iT. F. Moamt. Aucliornd. Anchored is what tho man said when ho dropped into tho Anchor Saloon. Why? said his friend.
