Glimpses Of Ocean Life Or Rock Pools And The Lessons They Teach With Numerous Illustrations Etc

Excerpt from Glimpses of Ocean Life, or Rock-Pools and the Lessons They Teach Nay, even the tremobling lark that mounts upwards as my shadow falls upon its nest among the clover, is not a more pleasant object to my eye, than the crustaceous hermit, who rushes within his borrowed dwelling at the sound of footsteps.
