The Sea-beach at Ebb-tide / A Guide to the Study of the Seaweeds and the Lower Animal Life Found Between Tide-marks

A practical field guide for amateur collectors and students, presenting the seaweeds and lower animal life found between tide-marks with advice on collecting, preserving, and identifying specimens. The text outlines classification and essential morphology, describes major algal groups (blue-green, green, brown, red) with notes on distribution and uses, and surveys conspicuous invertebrate groups from sponges and polyps through worms, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and simple chordates. Scientific names and technical terms are used but explained, and numerous illustrations are provided to support observation and the creation of beachside herbaria and collections.
