Fig. 2. Husum, Germany. Government Station and Oyster-storage Ponds. 
The bank of the Husum Canal is seen at the left over the marginal dike. Behind the embankment in the back- 
ground is the reservoir, whose water passes into the main middle storage pond through the water gate seen in 
front of the house. Thence the water passes into the lateral ponds, thence to the surrounding U-shaped reserve 
canal, escaping at the left, piercing the dike. From sketch by the writer. ( Page 377.)
