Mayer, Alfred Goldsborough. Sea-shore life; the invertebrates of the New York coast and adjacent coast regions. $1.20. N. Y. zoological soc. (For sale at N. Y. aquarium.)
The first volume in the “New York aquarium nature series.” “It describes the marine invertebrates of the region about New York, but on account of the wide distribution of this species, it is applicable to the Atlantic coast generally. Like the treatise by Dr. Brooks, this work is popular in character, and at the same time records the scientific observations of a professional zoölogist of the highest standing. It may be used as a reference book for visitors studying the collections of the New York aquarium.”—R. of Rs.
“Specialists may quarrel with some cases in the author’s nomenclature or seek more light on some of his statements, but all will agree that the book is a welcome addition to the literature of the seashore.”
