186 REPORT—1905. 
The Zoology of the Sandwich Islands.—Fifteenth Report of the Com- 
mittee, consisting of Professor NEwron (Chairman), Mr. Davin 
SHarP (Secretary), Dr. W. 'T. BLANForD, Professor 8. J. Hickson, 
Dr. P. L. Sctater, Dr. F. Du CanE Gopman, and Mr. EpGar 
A. SMITH. 
THis Committee was appointed in 1890, and has been since annually re- 
appointed. 
Since the last report parts of the collections worked out have been 
delivered to the British Museum (Natural History) and to the Bernice 
P. Bishop Museum at Honolulu. The Secretary has done a little towards 
the working out of the remaining Coleoptera, but there is still a great 
deal to do to complete this Order of Insects. 
The Committee therefore ask for reappointment, with a continuance 
of their powers, but do not require a grant of money. 
Madreporaria of the Bermuda Islunds.—Report of the Committee, 
consisting of Professor S. J. Hickson (Chairman), Dr. W. E. 
Hoye (Secretary), Dr. F. F. Buackman, Mr. J. 8S. GARDINER, 
Professor W. A. HErpMAN, Mr. A. C. Sewarp, Professor C. S. 
SHERRINGTON, and Mr. A. G. 'TANSLEY, appointed to conduct an 
investigation tnto the Madreporaria of the Bermuda Islands. 
THE Committee beg leave to report that no opportunity has presented 
itself of sending a naturalist to the Bermuda Islands to carryout the in- 
vestigation. The Committee has been in readiness to co-operate with the 
authorities of the marine laboratory established by the United States, 
but they have not found any means of taking combined action. As 
they are of opinion that they are not likely to be able to render any 
useful service in the near future, the Committee do not ask to be 
reappointed.

fessors H. Ray LANKESTER (Chairman), 8. J. Hickson (Secretary),

and J. GRAHAM Kerr, Mr. O. H. Larrer, Professor E. A.

and that fifty-seven zoologists have accepted the invitation of the Com- 
mittee to place their names upon the Register.
