Excerpt from Report to the Government of Baroda on the Marine Zoology of Okhamandal in Kattiawar, 1916, Vol. 2In these circumstances, I decided that as I had in hand a number of valuable papers, including two long and important reports on the sponges, together with others on the Hydroida, Medusae and Polyzoa, as well as a lengthy one on the Indian Conch which has considerable economic importance on the shores Of the Gulf Of Kutch, it would be better to publish these at once, and relegate, any further reports that may come to hand at a future date either to a supplementary issue or contribute them to some other Indian Zoological publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
