London: Lowell Reeve, 1912.

Wood Jones was one of the first to study coral reefs as living organisms interacting with their environment. Prior to Wood Jones's book most of the work on corals was done from the systematics viewpoint using specimens in museums. Jones's book was one of the first accounts of a living coral reef.
