Gould's \u003cem\u003eThe Case for the Sea-Serpent\u003c\/em\u003e is a serious and remarkably detailed investigation into one of the most enduring mysteries of maritime folklore: the existence of unidentified large marine animals popularly described as sea-serpents. Drawing upon historical records, eyewitness testimony and reported encounters by sailors and naval officers, Gould examines the evidence case by case, attempting to distinguish credible observations from misidentification, exaggeration and legend. Published in 1930 following his successful \u003cem\u003eOddities\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eEnigmas\u003c\/em\u003e, the book reflects Gould's characteristic combination of open-minded curiosity and methodical research, and remains an important early work in the literature of cryptozoology and the scientific investigation of unexplained animals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Case for the Sea-Serpent,, by Lieut.-Commander Rupert T.
