Abstract
AMONG living zoologists no one is more competent than Prof. Hickson to write a book on corals. Many years ago he made acquaintance with coral organisms in their natural surroundings; and since then the Anthozoa, the group to which most corals belong, have been one of the chief objects of his study. Those, therefore, who already know his lucid and at tractive manner of writing will be prepared to expect an authoritative and fascinating work; and they will not be disappointed. But first one or two small criticisms.
An Introduction to the Study of Recent Corals.
