The surprisingly complicated eyes and tactile organs of the thickened margin of the mantle require a distant withdrawal before the valves can be closed safely. According to Drew (1906, p. 12) : In specimens (of Placopecten...

This increasing rate of feeding is probably to be explained as due to gradual recovery on the part of the oysters from the shock of their unusual treatment in the laboratory. The rate at which feeding took place during the fourth hour is probably much nearer the rate...

Chimney pond, on the other hand, has, as far as the writer was able to observe, no acquatics yet it is bordered by an interesting zone of amphibious forms.
