Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Life in the Seas The story of the life of animals and plants in the sea is one with so many aspects, that it is difficult to choose the points that may be included, and those that may be omitted from a book in tended for the general reader. To some the story of the food Fishes and the Whales is of the greatest interest; to others the beautiful shapes and colours of shells have a predominating fasci nation; and to those who have devoted them selves to geological study, the history of the animals that contribute to the formation of the reefs and the ocean-bed present features of spe cial attraction. To many, then, the perusal of my book must lead to disappointment, as no one of these aspects has been treated adequately; but if some new interest is awakened, some new train of thought quickened into life, one of the objects I had in view will have been gained.
