The German Fisheries Commission

Abstract

THIS portion of the Fourth Report of what might perhaps be called the German Fisheries Commission is a folio volume of considerable thickness, consisting exclusively of three elaborate scientific memoirs, each of which is stamped with the thoroughness so characteristic of German work. The first, by Dr. Adolf Engler, deals with the marine fungi of Kiel Bay, the second, by Dr. R. Möbius and Fr. Heincke, with the fish fauna of the Baltic, and the last contains an account of the properties and history of the eggs of certain fishes, by Dr. von Hensen.

Vierter Bericht der Commission zur wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung der deutschen Meere für Jahre 1877–1881.

II. Abtheilung. (Berlin: Paul Parez, 1883.)
