Abstract
IT is possible to have a considerable amount of sympathy with Mr. S. Pace and also with his critic, Prof. MacBride, and at the same time to differ from both on some points. Mr. Pace aims high in both:—(1) his “bibliography of all works dealing with the biology of the European seas,” and (2) his “exhaustive faunistic survey of the marine life at one or more points on our coasts,” and marine biologists must wish him all possible success in his venture; but the doubt remains whether he has not under-taken more than he can carry out, and whether it would not require the libraries and the staff and all the other resources of one or more scientific societies to produce the first, and the united work of the marine laboratories and other investigating organisations round the coast to deal adequately with the second object.
