Flora en Fauna der Zuiderzee

Abstract

WITH the draining of the Zuiderzee one of the largest brackish-water basins of Europe, and a very peculiar one, will disappear. In the Baltic Sea, the largest of all, tidal movements are of very little importance: in the French and English river-estuaries, tides are the predominating factor, while in the Zuiderzee only a few small areas are struck by regular tidal currents, and the greater part of the southern basin is only shaken up from its lake-dreaminess by north-western gales. Therefore it was a very useful work of the Dutch Zoological Society (Nederlandsche Dierkundige Vereeniging), and specially of Dr. H. C. Redeke, the director of the Zoological Station in Den Helder, to bring together all that is known from the Zuiderzee in this monograph, issued on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Society.
