Abstract
THE first thought that strikes one in glancing through this magnificently illustrated volume is the diligence and skill of the author in photography and the enterprise of the publisher. Never before has a semi-scientific work been illustrated with such a wealth of plates. The illustrations will go far towards giving a realistic impression of some of the beauties of coral seas to the untravelled, and will awaken many recollections of happy hours of exciting shore collecting in those who have waded on coral reefs and peered over a boat-side at the edge of a reef.
