""Notes By A Naturalist"" is a fascinating account of the observations made by Henry Nottidge Moseley during the voyage of H.M.S. Challenger around the world in the years 1872-1876. Moseley was a naturalist and zoologist who was part of the expedition, which was organized by the British government to study the world's oceans and the life within them. In this book, he provides a detailed and insightful description of the various species of marine life that he encountered during the voyage, as well as his observations on their behavior, habitats, and relationships with one another. Moseley's writing is both informative and engaging, and he offers a unique perspective on the natural world that is both scientific and poetic. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in marine biology, natural history, or the history of scientific exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Challenger Expedition of 1872-6 was conceived to examine the deep sea floor worldwide and disprove the theory of a 'dead zone' in the oceans below a certain depth. Using a modified Royal Navy ship, the expedition sailed nearly 70,000 nautical miles across the globe, collecting oceanographic data and marine specimens, and laying the foundations for the science of oceanography by later publishing fifty volumes of reports. The naturalist Henry Moseley (1844-91) recounts the voyage in this 1879 work, covering visits to many remote islands and the taking of samples at hundreds of locations. The voyage's achievements included the collection of over 4,000 new marine species and the discovery of the world's deepest ocean trench (Challenger Deep). Moseley's observations on native peoples also proved important as traditional cultures were changing rapidly at the time. Illustrated with numerous woodcuts, this narrative illuminates an adventure of great scientific significance.
