Abstract
DR. DOFLEIN adds one more to the long list of books which have been written to give popular accounts of scientific expeditions. In the year 1904 he undertook a journey to the Far East for zoological purposes, and particularly with the object of investigating the fauna of Japanese waters, which is of peculiar interest, not only as possessing remarkable forms of its own, but as containing an admixture of genera belonging respectively to the cold northern seas and to the Indo-Pacific region, which meet in that locality, with a large “deep-sea ” element. In the book before us we have a record of the observations and results of this voyage, and of the impressions made on the traveller by the countries he passed through.
