Abstract
THIS is a popular exposition, by a well-known and thoroughly competent zoologist, of the leading features of deep-sea life and of the conditions under which it exists. It is, of course, primarily for German readers, and is evidently, and very properly, intended to direct attention to the recent German Deep-Sea Expedition. The results ofthe preceding “Plankton” Expedition are also referred to. The little book contains about fifty pages, of which the first thirty constitute the essay proper and the remaining twenty are notes upon paragraphs and statements in the text, and give references to the literature of the subject. In such limited space it is obvious that no exhaustive treatment is possible; many important matters are barely mentioned, and in fact the whole can only be regarded as, at most, a sketch of this large department of oceanography.
