| Title | Unpublished paper, 'The relations between marine animal and vegetable life' by H M Vernon |
| Date | 1897 |
| Description | The object of this research is to determine how the nitrogenous matter excreted by marine animals into the water is removed, and what parts the various forms of vegetable life play in the process. Thus this subject is of interest from its practical bearing on questions relating to the efficient maintenance of marine aquaria, as well as from the theoretical standpoint of the changes taking place under natural conditions in the open sea. The method of investigation is chemical, physiological and bacteriological.
