Abstract
THE important series of reports on the pearl-oyster fisheries and on the marine biology of Ceylon, prepared under the direction of Prof. Herdman, which is being published by the Royal Society at the request of the Colonial Government, continues to grow both in size and value. Parts iii. and iv. have been recently issued, and although in the preface to part iii. Prof. Herdman expresses the hope that the whole will be completed in four parts, this has not proved possible, and a fifth part is now contemplated, to contain the concluding sections of the pearl-oyster work, several more supplementary reports of a faunistic character, and a general discussion of the faunistic results.
