Japanese Oyster Culture, by Bashford 

 Dean, Assistant professor in Zoology in 

 Columbia University, and published by 



the Fish Commission, contains the re- 

 sults of a study of the Japanese oyster 

 by the author in 1900-1901. Inartifi- 

 cial oyster culture Professor Dean con- 

 cludes the Japanese are considerably 

 ahead of the United States, but behind 

 France and Holland. Whether the 

 Japanese oyster can be cultivated suc- 

 cessfully along our Pacific coast may 

 only be answered by experiment.
