Volume 10 contains four articles, three of which will particularly interest ecologists and the fourth, fish farmers. The first, by R. K. Dell, is a comprehensive account of the distribution and habits of bottom-living plants and animals in the Antarctic. Since the war, research in this region has been much intensified and this review brings together the very scattered literature on Antarctic marine flora and fauna from the early expeditions up to the present time. It should prove of great value to all interested in the distribution of marine organisms. The next article, by H. B. Moore, analyses many published observations on the biology of intertidal and shallow-water animals throughout the world in relation to temperature, salinity and other environmental factors. It is concluded that the tropics are regions of greater stress than the temperate zone, as are the polar seas. This has to be considered as one of the possible factors leading to high speciation in the tropics. The third article, by P. S. Meadows and J. I. Campbell, considers the methods by which animals find and select their habitats. In recent years there has been increased emphasis on experimental studies and it is the nature of the reaction to different factors of the environment identified by this means which enables us to understand how a particular habitat may be selected. The final article, by C. B. Cowey and J. R. Sargent, reviews the present state of knowledge about nutrition in fish. Apart from its general physiological interest, this is of special value now that the cultivation of marine fish under artificial conditions is becoming a practical proposition.

The aim of this Treatise on Comparative Biochemistry is to provide a sound, critical, and provocative summary of present knowledge in the field. Although comparative biochemistry is the most recent approach to the study of biology, its domain is vast because it seeks to compare the physicochemical properties of every form of life. In this sense it includes ail of biochemistry, not only those aspects common to life in general, but also the unique physicochemical manifestations which are characteristic of each of the several million species of living organisms comprising the phylogenetic scale.
Biological diversity is inherently as interesting to comparative biochemistry as biological unity. Furthermore, comparative biochemistry is concerned not only with contemporary life, but with life of all ages reaching back to origins; it views evolution in terms of molecular rather than morphological changes.
In order to provide a systematic comparison of the biochemical phenomena of life throughout the phylogenetic scale, which has been our objective, the Treatise has been organized in the following manner: Volumes I and II are primarily concerned with the biological transformations of free energy.
Volume I deals with the sources of biologically useful free energy, while Volume II describes how this free energy is utilized to support function. The structures of the principal classes of metabolites, their distributions, and the comparative enzymology of their biogenesis and metabolism are the subjects of Volumes III and IV. The comparative biochemistry of organized reactions Systems and the biological functions dependent upon these Systems are discussed in Volumes V and VI.

The editors of advances in geophysics present with great satisfaction the proceedings of the 1973 IUTAM-IUGG symposium on turbulent diffusion in environmental pollution. Volumes ISA and 18B is a sequel to volume 6, which contained the first symposium; though published 16 years ago, a number of these papers are still widely cited. There is little doubt that the contents of the present volumes contain equally outstanding contributions. The organizers of the Symposium were singularly successful in attracting a worldwide group of authorities in the field and deserve for this the gratitude of the interested scientific public. We also want to thank the volume editors for their unselfish labors in collecting and processing of the manuscripts. Both Dr. Francois N. Frenkiel and Dr. R. E. Munn did an outstanding job for which the readers should give them full credit.
A second reason why we are particularly pleased to see these volumes appear is the current need to present all available knowledge in the field in a world threatened by pollution. Admittedly we are still far from the goal of complete scientific solution to both theoretical and practical problems in the field. Yet there has been great progress in understanding and not inconsiderable success in use of whatever insight has been gained. Moreover, as these volumes show, there is a close alliance between pure and applied science that has helped in the past and bodes well for the future. It is our hope, nay our conviction, that the papers in these volumes will provide considerable stimulus for further research in an intriguing but still intractable field.

The aim of this new serial publication to help biologists to keep abreast of knowledge in the different lines of research on the biology of marine organisms is continued in volume 4.
The present volume features two review articles, on diseases of marine fishes, and a review of the systematics and ecology of oceanic squids.
