BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY). 
BRITISH ANTARCTIC (“TERRA NOVA”) EXPEDITION, 1910. 
NATURAL HISTORY REPORT. 
ZOOLOGY: 
Tue Trustees of the British Museum have undertaken the publication of the Natural 
History results of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910, conducted by the ss. “ Terra 
Nova,’ under the command of the late Capt. 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 be avoided ; but, on 
the other hand, a natural sequence of subjects can hardly be maintained. 
The plan that will be adopted will be to distribute the subject-matter provision- 
ally among as many volumes as seem likely to be required. No attempt will be made 
to complete a volume before commencing the publication of its successor; and two or 
more volumes may accordingly be in process of publication concurrently. When a 
volume has reached a convenient size it will be completed by the issue of a title-page 
and table of contents.
