It will he seen, by the contents of the foregoing 
chapters, that the fresh-water Aquarium is able to 
afford as many attractive sources of interest as the 
marine, notwithstanding the Sea Anemones and 
richly coloured Algce , which have made the salt¬ 
water tank so generally attractive. It is calculated 
at the same time to awaken an interest in natural 
history, in a province more generally accessible 
than the shores of the ocean; for every brook, every 
pond, every ditch is filled with the curious and beau¬ 
tiful forms of animal and vegetable life respecting 
which the fresh-water Aquarium has awakened new 
or dormant interests; interests which are all the 
more likely to meet with further extension, as the 
fields for additional investigation are open to all 
who have a pond in their garden, or even a small 
brook running through the neighbouring meadows.
