CONCLUSION. 235 



In our own little book we have been compelled 

 to skim lightly, and, in many places, to pass over 

 subjects of great interest. 



As for other subjects connected with the sea, of 

 which we may not treat, they are innumerable. Of 

 the sea- weeds that clothe the bottom , of the deep 

 with the rich profusion and glowing colours of the 

 gardens of earth of the myriads of animalcules (be- 

 sides those we have mentioned) that disport in its 

 waters and fill the abyss with life and lambent fire 

 of the great whales and other huge creatures that 

 revel in its depths and lash its waters in their ter- 

 rible might of these and a host of kindred subjects, 

 our space forbids our saying more than that the 

 Voice of Ocean has much to tell us in regard to 

 them, and in regard to the provident care of their 

 beneficent Creator.
