i there are two that deserve special notice. The first is the 
octagon aquarium, here figured as a river tank. It makes a 
j splendid embellishment to a conservatory or glass corridor 
| where there is ample room for it, or as a marine tank it is 
j just the sort of vessel for a shallow rock pool, as suggested 
I by Mr. Warrington. Mr. Lloyd, of Portland Road, purveyor 
of marine stock to the aquarians of the whole kingdom, 
usually has one of these octagon vessels fitted with rough 
! rockvvork, and stocked with shore and deep sea crustaceans; 
and a most amusing sight it is to see the crabs fighting and 
scrambling about at the bottom, or whisking their long 
antennas as they bask on the boulders in the centre like so
