 ANIMALS, 



SEA- WEED, ARTIFICIAL SEA- WATER, 

 AND MARINE AND FRESH- WATER 

 AQUARIA. 



A Stock of small Aquaria, ready fitted up 

 with Weed, Shells, Riockwork, and Marine 

 Life, always on hand, at very moderate prices. 



"Yalisneria, Chara, Nitella, Anacliaris, and 

 other living fresh-water Plants, Insects, Mol- 

 lusks, Fish, &C. 



TH3 IIAiiniE AQUARIUM. 



A great variety of Marine Animal Life can 

 be preserved in health and vigour iti these 

 Aquaria, without trouble to the possessor. 

 The difficulty of procurinsr a supply of Sea- 

 water for occasional renewal has been for 

 some time completely overcome by the suc- 

 cessful comi)Osition of Artificial Sea^water, 

 in which the Animals and Plants thrive and 

 grow. 



The smaller Aquaria, when fitted up with 

 pieces of rock, shells and sea- weed, and stocked 

 witli animal life, are objects of the highest 

 interest and beauty; and they yield to the 

 observer the hitherto unattainable pleasure of 

 watching at his ease, in Ids own xpartments, 

 the curious inhalMtaats of the Ocean,
