OSTREID.®. 
Ostrea edulis (L.). Oysters are found at Wangeroog, Juist, and other islands 
on the shore of East Friesland, scattered in a depth of from IG to 18 fathoms, 
in extended banks only between 20 and 23 fathoms. The shallower grounds 
are unfavourable for them, on account of the currents and the driving sand. 
They begin to spawn in the middle of July. On the larger banks, their shells 
are beset with Balanus percatm and Verruca streemia, and in other localities 
with B. C7'e7iatus. Metzger, JB. Ges. Hannov. xx. 1871, pp. 28 & 29. — An
