Abstract
IN NATURE of May 12, p. 770, the following statement was made under “Research Items” in directing attention to my recent work on the MS. drawings of Indian Fish (Ham.-Buch. Collection): “In the first volume there are 22 plates of fish illustrations, representing 51 species, and the rest of the plates are of mammals; the second and third volumes are drawings of birds made by Mr. Gibbons; and the fourth are those of fishes, representing 150 species”. I am afraid the writer of these notes has given wrong information. In the first volume there are only twenty plates of fish, and while in the second and third volumes there are some drawings by Mr. Gibbons, the majority of the plates are Buchanan's. The fourth volume contains delineations of 144 species.
