Abstract
THIS is a reprint, with a few additions, of the charming work which became so popular in America and in England some five years since on account of its intrinsic merits and the beauty of the illustrations. The book includes descriptions and more or less truthful illustrations of the Actiniæ, Madreporaria, Alcyoninæ, Acalephæ, Hydroids, Holothurians, Echinoidea, and Asteroidea which may be found in the neighbourhood of Massachusetts Bay. The history of the development of many of the forms is carefully written, and is obviously the result of patient original observation.
