B. Holder, wrote a juvenile in 1892 also titled Along The Florida Reef. It was published by D. Appleton, New York, and is unrelated to the present title. Illustrations in the present item include a Mangrove swamp, a cigar shaped Mangrove, turtle turning, a "Conch," the white Egret, a pineapple clearing on Key Largo, a view of Indian Key, Captain Cole, a view of coralline, shark - fishing, Fort Jefferson, Bay Buisquine, the mouth of the Miami River, an arrow-root, a sisal hemp plant, an everglade, white pelicans, royal palms, the live-oak, a manatee, a brown pelican and sea gull, a sea-devil, Sea-Horse Key, a Cracker, a scene of sponge fishing, the Kerosene Brothers, a coral worm, the Malthea and Lophius, or Bellows-fish, the Physalia, a tentacle of the Physalia, examples of Cup coral and Brain coral, Janthina, Cymopolia, a Sea-Anemone on the back of a crab, Surgeon-fish, Aplysia, Octopus or Squid, Diogenes the hermit crab, Chemadoris, tropical sea-week, Pavonia, Gaulerpas growing on the sea bottom, Perry's look-out at Gibraltar Island, Put-in-Bay key, and numerous others of general interest.
