BOOKS USEFUL TU THE A(JUAR1ST. 



THE following list of books relative to aquaria 

 is limited to such as happen to be contained 

 in the library of the New York Aquarium, and is 

 presented here as a matter of interest to members 

 of the New York Zoological Society, school teachers, 

 and other persons, in response to many inquiries 

 respecting books on the care of home aquaria. 



The l)ibliography of this subject is extensive, and 

 the works here mentioned are not claimed to be the 

 only desirable ones of their class, although they will 

 all be found useful. Those issued by New York 

 publishers are for sale by booksellers generally. 

 Some of them can be imported to order, while the 

 older works are out of print and must be sought for 

 among the shelves of dealers in second-hand 

 scientific books. 



The titles of two works on the smaller forms of 

 life found in ponds and streams and along the sea- 

 shore are included, as they deal with the natural 

 history of species usually suitable for marine and 

 fresh-water aquaria. One of these is "Sea-Shore 

 Life," which has just been issued as the first volume 

 of the New York Aquarium Nature Series.

"SEA-SHORE LIFE." 



THIS book on the invertebrates of the New York 

 coast and the adjacent coast region was 

 published last fall as the first volume of the New 

 York Aquarium Nature Series. 



It is a book of 181 pages and 119 illustrations, 

 nearly all from original photographs by the author. 

 Dr. A. G. Mayer, Director of the Marine Biological 

 Laboratory at Dry Tortugas, Fla. 



It is a popular account of the moUusks, crusta- 

 ceans, star-fishes, jelly-fishes, sea anemones, and 

 many other invertebrates common along the North 

 Atlantic coast, but is, at the same time, thoroughly 

 reliable from a scientific point of view. 



It has been a good seller ever since it was placed 

 on sale at the .-Vquarium, and the Zoological Society 

 is to be congratulated on having so valuable a work 

 to head the list of publications emanating from the 

 New York .\quarium.
