Description :

The study of life in the sea and the conditions there Prevailing has made The study of life in the sea and the conditions there Prevailing has made very rapid advances within recent Years. Beyond “The Depths of the Ocean,” by Sir John Murray and Professor Johan Hot, a book suited rather to the needs of advanced students, there is no modern work dealing in popular style with the science of oceanography.
As a whole. It is true there are many books covering Particular aspects of the subject and especially that fringe Of the sea within the reach of all, the sea shore; but the Latter deal solely with the local fauna that surrounds our
Shores and tell nothing about that world that lies stretching For miles in all directions beyond the coasts, the open sea And oceans. It is in the hope of filling a gap in the literature of natural history that these pages have been written. In preparing the book the authors have each written thoseChapters dealing with subjects connected with their own Fields of research. It was thought that the ground would be more fully covered in this manner than if all the chapters
Were written in collaboration, and for this reason the Reader is asked to excuse any disparity in style that may Occur between the different chapters. Chapters I (first Half), IV, V, X, XI, XII, XIII, XV, and sections of XVI Have been written by Mr. Russell, and Chapters I (second Half), II, III, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XIV and sections of
XVI by Dr. Yonge. We should like to take this opportunity of expressing
Our thanks to Dr. E. J. Allen, F.R.S., Director of the Plymouth Laboratory, and to the members of the staff of Plymouth Laboratory, and to the members of the staff of Mission to reproduce the original painting by Mr. Norman Wilkinson, Plate 102 Thanks are due to Mr. C.
