яви 2-2-39 Museum PREFACE. I SEND forth this little book as a companion volume to my "Country Walks," hoping that it may induce some of the numerous young people visiting the sea-side, to take an interest in the study of Marine Natural History. I have once more to thank Mr. Gould for his kind permission to copy some of his drawings in his work on the Birds of Great Britain. TO MY WIFE, THE FOND MOTHER OF MY CHILDREN, FROM WHOM, IN ALL MY LITERARY WORK, I HAVE RECEIVED MUCH VALUABLE HELP, I Dedicate this little Volume. PRESTON RECTORY, June 6th, 1870. CONTENTS.
