And An Account Of The Organization And Affinities Of The Sponges.
Educated at King's College, London, the naturalist and marine
biologist William Saville-Kent (1845-1908) went on to work at the
British Museum and in aquariums at Brighton, Manchester and
Westminster. He spent many years in Australia as a fisheries
expert, and during this time he made extensive surveys of the
natural world. The present work, first published in 1897, was
intended to give a non-scientific audience a glimpse of the
fantastic array of wildlife in Australia. The author discusses the
many varieties of birds, lizards, fish and other sea life, insects
(an entire chapter is devoted to termites), and vegetation. He was
also able to take advantage of the photographic technology of the
time and include around fifty collotype images, which complement
the many other illustrations of the plants and animals he writes
about, providing a vivid overview of the natural world in late
nineteenth-century Australia.
