Abstract
IN this volume are published the results of investigations carried on by a Committee of Naturalists belonging to Liverpool and its neighbourhood. The inquiries were suggested by Prof. Herdman, and his energy and influence have evidently contributed largely to the success of the work. It is intended that the Committee shall endeavour to found a sea-side laboratory and form a permanent organisation for marine biological research, but its first operations in the summer of 1885 were limited to expeditions for obtaining invertebrate specimens, by dredging, trawling, and tow-netting from steam-tugs, and collecting on the shore at low-tide.
First Report on the Fauna of Liverpool Bay and the Neighbouring Seas.
By Members of the Liverpoo Marine Biology Committee, edited by W. A. Herdman, Professor of Natural History in University College, Liverpool. (London: Longmans. Green and Co., 1886.)
