I. Mammalia. . 



The results obtained by the late Major G. E. H. Barrett- 

 Hamilton during Lhe Expedition to South Georgia in 1913-1914 

 have been worked out by Mr. Martin A. C. Hinton. A Report 

 on the subject is being prepared for the Colonial Office. 



Arrangements have been made, with the assistance of the 

 Norwegian Fishery Department, for receiving information with 

 regard to the species of Whales and the number of individuals 

 captured off South Georgia, the South Shetlands, and other 

 Southern localities. A partial report on the activities of four 

 of the Companies operating in those waters has already been 

 received. 



II. AVES. 



The question of the protection of Birds in various British 

 Colonies and Protectorates has received much attention at the 

 Colonial Office during the year, and many inquiries on the 

 subject have been submitted to the Department. 



III. Pisces. 



Inquiries have been answered, and specimens determined, 

 for the Government Biologist, Cape Town, the Fisheries 

 Assistant of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Plymouth, the 

 Imperial Institute, &c. 



Investigations into the life-history of the Herring, carried 

 on by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, have been 

 assisted, particularly by selecting from the fishes in the collec- 

 tion, and handing over to the officers engaged in this research 

 a series of scales illustrating the range of structure in the 

 Clupeoid group.
