  The quasielastic scattering of muon neutrinos on oxygen 16 is studied for
neutrino energies between 200 MeV and 1 GeV using a relativistic shell model.
Final state interactions are included within the distorted wave impulse
approximation, by means of a relativistic optical potential, with and without
imaginary part, and of a relativistic mean field potential. For comparison with
experimental data the inclusive charged--current quasielastic cross section for
$\nu_\mu$--$^{12}C$ scattering in the kinematical conditions of the LSND
experiment at Los Alamos is also presented and briefly discussed.
