Abstract
IN recent years, partly as a result of the establishment of the Freshwater Biological Association's station on Lake Windermere, there has been in Great Britain a welcome revival of interest in the freshwater fauna and flora. The ease with which many types can be obtained almost everywhere and kept alive in small aquaria makes them very suitable material for the school teaching of biology, and Mrs. Mellanby's book has been planned to provide a guide for school teachers and pupils. For this purpose it is in many ways well adapted.
