Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean in 1905, Under the Leadership of Mr. J. Stanley Gardiner, M. A, Vol. 2
IN the following pages some account is given of 20 species Of Nemerteans from the Eastern Indian Ocean. In addition to those collected by the Percy Sladen Expedition, we have been able to examine a collection made by Mr. Cyril Crossland at and near Zanzibar, and also a few procured by Professor Herdman from Ceylon. To these two gentlemen we desire to express our thanks. Other specimens reached us besides those described below, but owing to their imperfect Oondition or to their unsatisfactory preservation we have not included them in our account. It is to be regretted that in no' case were Observations made on the colour Of the living worm. We have endeavoured, so far as is possible, to remedy this defect by coloured drawings Of the preserved material, though we realise that these are but a poor substitute for sketches from life.
