APPENDIX B.— BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 

 INVESTIGATOR. 



The movements of the Investigator and the progress of her 

 survey work are oflEcially recorded in the annual Administration 

 Reports of the Marine Survey of India subsequent to the year 

 1881 : in these Reports are also to be found occasional brief 

 notices of the results of her zoological explorations. 



More detailed accounts of her zoological observations have 

 appeared in an unofficial series of Natural History Notes from 

 H.M. Indian Marine Survey Ship hivestigator^^ the constituent 

 parts of which have been published in various scientific journals, 

 but chiefly in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal since 

 the year 1885, and in the Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History since the year 1889. This series was proposed by the 

 late Professor J. Wood-Mason, and was initiated by Dr G. M. J. 

 Giles, I.M.S., who was Surgeon-Naturalist to the Marine Survey 

 from 1884-1888. 



In 1892 the Government of India sanctioned the publication 

 of twelve quarto plates of photo-etchings, to illustrate some of 

 the new species of deep-sea animals described in the Natural 

 History Notes. This subsequently became an annual publication, 

 under the title of Illustrations of the Zoology of the Royal Indian 

 Marine Survey Ship ''^ Investigator^^ issued under the authority of 

 the Director of the Royal Indian Marine. 



More recently an official series of Deep-sea Monographs, in 

 which the revised contents of all the earlier reports are embodied, 

 has been commenced. The cost of this series has, so far, been 

 borne by the Indian Museum, in which institution all the 

 Investigator collections have been deposited.
