Abstract
ALTHOUGH many marine animals, more especially those which live between tide-marks, or in shallow water near the shore, can without great difficulty be kept in a healthy state in confinement, this is by no means the case with those invertebrates whose natural habit is to swim freely in the sea, and previous attempts to rear pelagic larvae to the adult stage have only rarely been attended with much success. A method of overcoming some of these difficulties, which should prove of considerable use to marine naturalists, has recently been in use at the Plymouth Laboratory, and is described by Mr. E. T. Browne in the Journal of the Marine Biological Association (vol. v. No. 2).
