Zoology and Botany of the West India Islands.—Final Report of the 
Committee, consisting of Dr. P. L. ScLATER (Chairman), Mr. 
W. Carrutuers, Dr. A. C. L. Ginraer, Dr. D. Sarr, Mr. F. 
Du Cane GopMan, Professor NEwron, Sir GEORGE Hampson, and 
Mr. G. Murray (Secretary), on the Present State of awr Knowledge 
of the Zoology and Botany of the West India Islands, and on 
taking Steps to investigate ascertained Deficiencies in the Fauna 
and Flora, 
At a meeting held on Wednesday, July 5, 1899, it was resolved to terminate 
the active work of the Committee by rendering a list of its publications to 
the Royal Society (Government Grant Committee) and to the British 
Association, and by presenting to the Trustees of the British Museum the 
remainder of the unworked-out material. This material, consisting 
mostly of Coleoptera, has remained undetermined owing to the dearth of 
expert naturalists, and there is no immediate prospect of the Committee 
obtaining the services of suitable naturalists.
