BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE. 



Animal Life by the Sea-sJiore. By G. A, and G. L. Boulenger. 

 London : the Offices of ' Country Life,' Ltd. 



Books on " The Common Objects of the Sea-shore" are legion, and 

 some of them have been written by famous men. Gosse and 

 Kingsley are of this number. The authors of the present work are 

 therefore to be congratulated on having produced a volume which 

 must unquestionably rank with the best of its predecessors. Indeed, 

 the names of the authors lead one to expect as much. 



While written primarily for the lay reader, these pages will 

 l^rove no less welcome to trained zoologists, whose everyday work 

 may lie in other fields, and hence may need to refresh their 

 memories. 



Every kind of animal that is likely to be found on the beach, in 

 rock-pools, or among beds of seaweed at low tide, fi'om fishes 

 downwards, finds a place in these pages. 



The illustrations are not only numerous, but exceptionally good, 

 and hence interesting details of' the life-history of the various 

 creatures herein described can be, and are, freely introduced, long 

 and technical notes to enable the reader to identify his " finds " 

 being unnecessary. 



■ We most heartily commend this volume to- all who are conterft- 

 plating a- holiday at the seaside; even youngsters will find it a 

 fascinatinir book. . .
