Animal ecology

in Lower Organisms. Amer. Jour. Psychol., Vol. XXI, pp. 349-370.

1900. Observations on the Life-History of the Common Clam, Mya
Arenaria. Bull. U. S. Fish and Fisheries Comm. for 1899, Vol. XIX, pp.

Biologic Station. pp. 43. Baton Rouge.
All of these papers by Kellogg are careful studies of the relation of
animals to their environment. They also show the intimate relation of
ecology to economic problems. Biological surveys intended for economic
results should be ecological in their method.

A popular summary of the marine shell-fish industries of the American
coast, from the standpoint of their biology, culture, and utilization.

following subjects deserve mention: ciliary action, feeding reflexes,
function of mucus, and food.

and the optima are determined.
