On our way there, we landed on the beach of Shams Pir Island immediately in front of the Fish-curing Yard. The tide was falling rapidly, exposing a long stretch of gently shelving muddy foreshore. In the lower part the mud is deep and soft, but at the higher levels a considerable amount of shingle and water-worn pebbles is intermixed. In the March preceding our visit one of the Karachi oyster dealers used this beach as a laying ground for a cargo of Kutch oysters. Part had been sold and a large... number had died, I was informed ; a fair quantity still remaind alive and upon their valves as well as upon the dead shells scattered around, was a fair show of brood oysters, varying in approximate age (the rate judged by my experience of the growth of oysters near Madras) from 1 week to 1 month, suggesting thereby that the spatting season at Karachi is identical with that of oysters in the Madras Presidency September and October. 46. The general size of these Kutch oysters was relatively enormous ; some were over 8 inches long and proportionate in thickness.
