Abstract
THERE are many popular books on the sea but they commonly err in trying to combine its science in a single volume. The physics and chemistry are often so cut down that the biologist is not given the basal facts on which the understanding of his problems depends, while the general reader is left with almost nothing. The author of the volume under notice, who is assistant chief of the famous Coast and Geodetic Survey of the United States, omits biology altogether, and the result is a most readable volume that should appeal to every traveller.
