Abstract
MR. BERRIDGE fills his pages with a large amount of interesting information concerning marine animals. There are chapters on fish in general, fish that make nests, the food of fish, luminous fish, electric fish, goldfish, and many other animals including invertebrates such as oysters and cockles, lobsters and shrimps, corals and sponges. The book is amusing and the original photographs are good, sometimes very good, but it is a pity that they do not match the text, for when reading about a basking-shark or a sea-serpent we find pictures of goldfish, and a remora illustrates the remarks on oysters.
