John Vernberg; 'Tidally rhythmic behaviour of marine animals' by E. Naylor; 'Temperature adaptation of enzyme function in fish muscle' by Ian A. Johnston; 'How to survive in the dark: bioliminescence in the deep sea' by Peter J. Herring; 'Aspects of photoreception in aquatic environments' by J.N. Lythgoe; and 'Feeding currents in calanoid copepods: two new hypotheses' by J. Rudi Strickler. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine, all bright and clean.
