NATURAL HISTORY REPORT. 



ZOOLOGY. 



The Trustees of the British Museum have undertaken the publication of the Natural 

 History results of the British Antarctic Expedition. L910, conducted by the s.s. "Terra 

 Nova," under the command of the late ('apt. R. F. Scott. R.N., C.V.O. Arrangements 

 for working out most of the groups collected have already been made. 



Mr. C. Tate Regan's Memoir on Fishes is the part which is ready for publication 

 first, it may be useful to explain that it is proposed to issue the Zoological Reports, 

 from time to time, as they are ready for publication. By adopting this method the 

 delay which results from waiting until a volume is completed may lie avoided; hut. on 

 the other hand, a natural sequence of subjects can hardly he maintained. 



The plan that will he adopted will he to distribute the subject-matter provision- 

 ally among as many volumes as seem likely to he required. No attempt will he made 

 i i complete a volume hefore commencing the publication of its successor; and two or 

 more volumes may accordingly he in process of publication concurrently. When a 

 volume iias reached n convenient size it will be completed hy the issue of a title-pace 

 and table of contents.
