The Zoology of the Sandwich Islands.—Ninth Report of the 
Committee, consisting of Professor Newron (Chairman), Dr. 
W. T. Buanrorp, Professor §. J. Hickson, Mr. F. Du Cane 
GopmaNn, Mr. P. L. Scuater, Mr. E. A. Smita, and Mr. D. 
Suarp (Secretary). 
THe Committee was appointed in 1890, and has been annually re- 
appointed. During the past year it has received grants from the Royal 
Society and the Trustees of the Honolulu Museum for the publication of 
its results. Two parts (under the title of ‘Fauna Hawaiiensis’) have 
already appeared, one by Mr. R. C. L. Perkins and Professor Forel, on the 
Hymenoptera aculeata, the other by Mr. E. Meyrick, on the Macro- 
Lepidoptera. These two parts enumerate 490 species, 331 of which are 
new. ‘The third and fourth parts (Orthoptera and Neuroptera) are in the 
press, and subsequent parts are in a more or less advanced state of 
preparation. 
The Committee has been fortunate in being able to retain the services 
of Mr. Perkins, for which purpose the balance of the grant made to the 
Committee by the Trustees of the Honolulu Museum, and certain sums 
received from the British Museum for the preparation of specimens, have 
been appropriated. These resources are at present exhausted, and the 
Committee has no balance in hand except its publication fund. 
The Committee considers it desirable that more complete evidence 
should be procured, and entertains the idea of again sending out Mr. 
Perkins to the islands. The fauna is being extirpated with increasing 
rapidity, and the natural conditions of the native animal life entirely 
upset ; hence exploration, to be satisfactory, should be done at once. 
The Committee has obtained a grant from the Government Grant 
Committee of the Royal Society, and the Trustees of the Honolulu 
Museum have signified their intention of again adding a proportional sum 
to any amount that may be raised in this country. 
The Committee therefore asks the Association for a grant of 100J., to 
be used either for the purpose of sending Mr. Perkins again to the islands 
or for continuing work in this country, as may seent most desirable,
