FISHERIES CATALOGUE. 227 



GALLEKY. 



(Stair from Vestibule.) 



The collection of Local Marine Invertebrates, which 

 occupies the greater part of the wall cases round the 

 gallery, is largely the result of the work of the Liverpool 

 Marine Biology Committee. The series commences to 

 the left of the door with the Sponges, and continues round 

 the cases labelled Ccelenterata, Echinodermata, Polyzoa, 

 Vermes, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Tunicata. 



In the windows of the gallery are arranged a series of 

 lantern slides, prepared by the Eev. T. S. Lea, from his 

 photographs of the sea-weeds and animals on the shore 

 round the south coast of the Isle of Man. 



In some of the desk cases round the rail of the gallery 

 will be found a collection of Sea-bottoms, ancient and 

 modern, both from shallow and deep water. These 

 include a series of the gravels, sands, muds, and organic 

 deposits found in the various parts of our own district. 



Two of the desk cases, on the north side, show an 

 interesting series of the Microscopic Copepoda, and 

 enlarged representations of their structure, prepared by 

 I. C. Thompson, Esq.
