NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2»« S. N« 39., Sept. 27. '60. 



recovered leaf contains, we are told, a new and important 

 reading. Of course, many hearts are sore at missing such 

 a treasure. It found its way, however, into the possession 

 of Mr. Boone, the bookseller, in Bond Street, — at the 

 cost, we believe, of 70/., — and, subsequently, into the 

 hands of a well-known and indefatigable Shakspearian 

 collector, for the moderate price of 120/. We should have 

 been better pleased if it had been secured, by Mr. Jones, 

 for the Bi'itisb Museum ; but, as it did not find its way to 

 Trafalgar Square en route to America, there is still s>ome 

 hope that it may hereafter find a resting-place in our !Na- 

 tional Librar^^ We have Messrs. Boone's authority for 

 stating that the book, — which by the terms of sale to 

 Mr. Halliwell remains in their possession for three months, 

 — may be seen at their establishment ia Bond Street by 

 Shakspearian and other students,"

THE MARINE AQUARIUM. 



MR. W. ALFORD LLOYD begs to announce that he has REMOVED FROM ST. .TOHN 

 STREET ROAD, and that he has made very extensive arrangements for the SALE of 

 LIVING MARINE ANIMALS. SEA- WEEDS, TANKS, and all the other accessories for 

 the study of AQUARIUM NATURAL HISTORY. 



MR. LLOYD'S Stodc consists of Fifteen Thousand specimeng, comprising Two Hundred 

 genera, acclimated in Fifty large Plate-Glass Tanks, containing more than a Thousand Gallons 

 of Sea- Water. The reculiaritj; which distinguishes this collection above that which any other 

 single spot can furnish, and which renders it an object of attention not only to the amateur arid 

 student residing in London and in other inland places, but also to naturalists living at distant 

 parts of the coast, is, that it is the result of an organized body of gatherers, posted at intervals 

 m the richest localities j and thus our Marine Fauna and Flora are adequately represented in 

 the Metropolis. The most delicate organizations can be packed to go safely by rail or by post. 



The discovery of a mode of readily making ARTIFICIAL SEA- WATER gives large 

 facilities for the successful prosecution of the study. Much time, therefore, has been spent in 

 assimilating it to the actual water of the ocean, so that it is now oifered as an analytically cor- 

 rect compound, which thoroughly answers all jjurposes. Thus, the permanent maintenance of a 

 collection of living Marine Animals and Algas in a state of domestication is rendered a far more 

 easily attainable matter than even the cultivation of flowers. To render this yet more prac- 

 ticable in the hands of inexperienced persons, Mr. Lloyd makes it a point to keep in stock great 

 numbers of small portable Aquaria ready stocked, and with the balance of existence properly 

 adjusted. 



Although from their nature the inhabitants of the Ocean have a greater interest than 

 Fresh-water collections, the latter are duly provided, and various arrangements have been 

 constructed so as to combine the Aquarium with the growth of Ferns, Mosses, Lichens, &c.. and 

 to adapt them for the study of the habits, embryology, and development of semi-aquatics, both 

 animal and vegetable. 



The Tanks are constructed by Messrs. Sanders & Woolcott (m akers to the Zoological Society 

 of London), to whom Mr. Lloyd is sole agent. These are not merely vessels for the reception of 

 animals and plants, but a long series of observations as to the requirements demanded has so 

 IMirfected them, that they very accurately imitate natural conditions by attention being paid to 

 the direction, intensity, and colour of the light employed ; by the furnishing of various depths 

 and densities of the water ; by the regulation of the temperature ; and by the an-angement of 

 the whole for special purposes. Nor have the means of rendering them externally ornamental 

 been neglected. As complete and independent pieces of furniture, many arc mounted table- 

 height, and are placed on castors, for the facility of being easily moved when full to any part of 

 a room or house, as the aspect of the sun or the time of the year may demand. 



*«* A detailed List may be had on application. 

 W. ALFORD LLOYD, 19 and 20, Portland Road, Regent's Park, London.
