Abstract
THE materials which have been brought together in these volumes are now made accessible to those specially interested in the fauna of this group of islands in a connected form. The collections were made in 1881-82 by Dr. John Anderson, F.R.S., till recently Director of the Indian Museum at Calcutta, who brought the specimens to England with him, and placed the different groups in the hands of specialists for their proper identification and description. The result has been the publication of a number of faunistic papers in the Journal of the Linnean Society and elsewhere, and these papers are now published in the form of two volumes, well illustrated with plates, and containing altogether nearly two dozen distinct memoirs by recognized authorities in the different departments.
