THE FRINGE OF SEA AND LAND over which the tides run is a fascinating world Inhabited by a great community of strange and often beautiful creatures. This world is brilliantly described by Isobel Bennett, a well-known marine zoologist, and photographed by F. G. Myers and Keith Gillett in “The Fringe of the Sea," published by Rigby Limited of Adelaide. Sea anemones, jellyfish, star fish, sea urchins and sponges are fascinating creatures both to describe and photograph; some of nature’s most beautiful creations occur among the corals, and nothing made by man exceeds the exquisite tracery and design on some of the sea-animals' shells. The book has sufficient depth to instruct zoologists and students, and to be a text-book for them, and it will please the ordinary seashore wanderer. The picture, from the book, is of branches of a living colony of Antipathes with polyps expanded, from a reef of the Capricorn Islands.
