IV PREFACE. 



British list in Scomber thunnina, Guv. The same contributor 

 has referred to an old report of a Flying Fish caught on the 

 Norfolk coast, while Dr. Murie has drawn attention to a similar 

 record of the Flying Fish being taken near Eamsgate. 



Professor Mcintosh's memoir on Photogenic Marine Animals 

 takes us to a subject too little represented in our pages, and 

 is written by a great authority on these creatures. Mr. A. H. 

 Waters' s notes on Marine Crustacea in confinement are a direct 

 incentive to other marine zoologists. 



The aim of ' The Zoologist ' is a lofty one. But, to use 

 the words of Goethe, " Nature understands no jesting ; she is 

 always true, always serious, always severe ; she is always right, 

 and the errors and faults are always those of man. Him, who 

 is incapable of appreciating her, she despises : and only to the 

 apt, the pure, and the true does she resign herself, and reveal 

 her secrets."
