 present important oyster industry on the coasts of France. Tlje following subjects are 

 discussed in the translation: (1) Artificial oyster beds of Lake Fusaro. (2) Green oysters 

 of Marennes. (3) Mussel -weirs of the Bay of Aiguillon. (4) Condition of the oyster beds 

 along the coasts of France, and the necessity of restocking them. (5) Artificial oyster
