Maldive and Laccadive Archipelagoes 



The land fauna was carefully and exhaustively collected, and, being 

 from an undoubted oceanic area, cannot fail to be of great interest. 

 The marine collections fill in an almost unknown gap between the Red 

 Sea and the East Indies, and are the most extensive ever obtained 

 from any coral, oceanic area. They are believed to be very complete 

 in respect to every group, and have arrived in good condition.
