Abstract
IT may interest some of your readers to know that there has been an unusually heavy deposit of oyster spat just now on the collectors (tiles) along this west coast of France. Some of the tiles I have seen during the last few days have been very densely crowded over with the little amber-coloured scales. The oyster breeders both at Arcachon and at Point de Chapus, men of long experience, attribute the special abundance of the spat this season to the continuous hot weather.
