Abstract
THE Marine Biological Association has done a great service both to itself and to the public by the issue of this attractive guide-book to its aquarium. The main body of the book is devoted to a brief survey, in scientific sequence, of all the marine groups of animals. The important structural features of each group are succinctly stated in non-technical language and the more interesting points in their bionomics are briefly described. The common name, where one is available, is invariably given as well as the scientific name. In the first portion of the guide the contents of each of the exhibition tanks and cases in the aquarium are listed, some salient feature, such as colour, given, whereby they can be readily identified and a reference made to the fuller account in the other part of the book. Mrs. Sexton is to be congratulated on the successful accomplishment of her share of the work.
