The Sea-Beach at Ebb-Tide: A Guide to the Study of the Seaweeds and the Lower Animal Life Found Between Tide-Marks
Excerpt from The Sea-Beach at A Guide to the Study of the Seaweeds and the Lower Animal Life Found Between Tide-Marks
The systematic table Of the marine algae, as given in Part I, and followed in the text, will be of use to collectors who wish to make herbaria. In order to name and group specimens such a guide is necessary. Should specific names lead to embarrassment, many of them can be neglected, for the names of genera are often a sufficient distinction.
Since so many species Of invertebrates are found on the beach that a complete enumeration of them is impracticable, only the most conspicuous ones have been selected for description in Part II; but the attempt has been made to designate the various classes and orders with sufficient clearness to enable the collector to identify the Objects commonly found on the shore, and to follow the subject further, if he so desires, in technical books.

I love correctly identifying the creatures I'm wading with at the shore!
