Trehennarvour, Near Auray. The Collectors of Wooden Trays (Plateaux
The entire region in the figure was originally a shifting mud flat; it is now entirely reclaimed for purposes of culture by being macadamized. The dark line in the left background is a breakwater
5.
Ossegor, Near Bayonne. A natural tidal lake fed and drained by a shallow, swift-running creek
The water is sufficiently deep to allow the cases to be rarely exposed. Oyster growth is extremely rapid; an instance of half an inch of shell growth in a month is recorded. Cases are naturally covered with filamentous sea salad, ulva, which protects the oyster against light and heat and gives attachment and shelter to the rapidly growing oyster food
6.
Marennes (La Tremblade). View of the mouth of the large canal which passes inland and feeds systems of claires on either side
The picture gives an idea of the degree of the fall of the tide and, in the background, of the width of the Soudre. The village of Marennes is directly opposite
7.
Arcachon. The Gabaret Collector (Ruche) in Position
A tile is being held so as to show the young oysters attached to the under side. The collectors are roofed over the seaweed, keeping the tiles moist when exposed, and protecting them against heat and light
8.

9.
Marennes (La Tremblade). View of the claires for greening the oysters
The draining and feeding canal...is seen margined with planks. The picture shows clearly the flat character of the country, the size of the claires and of embankments, and the way in which the establishments are crowded together. Each shop in the figure represents a collection of adjoining claires
10.
Arcachon. An oyster park with low banks of fascine and clay
Cases of elevage are inclosed. The case covers are seen held open by propping sticks while the oysters are being sorted. The embankment separating the ponds are here composed of brush bundles, clay, and plank. The sand flat in the background is covered with Portuguese oysters
11.
Arcachon. Parks of the same kind as in the preceding figure. A general view showing their size and arrangement.
Those at the left have been emptied for the annual repairs; the shallowness may be noted
12.
Cancale. Guardian of Park, and Case for rearing seed oysters
13.
Breneguy. The park for seed culture in a large closed basin
Picture taken from the great dyke on the seaward side. The building screens from view the stone wall and the sluice gates. The bed of the wide draining creek may be seen at the right
