Perils Of The

Deep

All those pretty sea creatures and assorted shells gaily lying under the waters and coral reefs of the Islands aren’t as harmless as they look. Many fish and shells kill.

Dangers of the Reef and Sea, which describes, with pictures, many baddies of the coasts of New Guinea and Queensland, from sharks to deadly cone shells, should be read by tourists before they wander the Islands reefs. By pointing out what not to touch, catch or walk upon, this 26-page booklet has real practical value.

Although it is confined to the perils of the NG and Queens land deep, many of the fish and shells described will be found in other parts of the Pacific. Renata Cochrane wrote the text and Hal Holman took the pictures.—
