They Cannot Form In the Limo Of a

Coral reefs surround many of the ~

But almost every reef has such an la.
let. Il is a necessary result of the laws
under which Tie forces Of nature work
TO understand this we must see how
these reefs are formed.
Chemically the reef corols are almost
pure carbonate OF lime. the substance
of ordinary limestone and marble The
reef grows as the shell Of the oyster

Of innumerable polypi or minute in

this source also that they derive the
salts Of lime from which they secrete

The coral polypi cannot i've IN fresh
