EDITORIAL NOTE

The Prefaces to the ‘ Investigator” Reports issued last year explain how the ‘ Investigator ” collections came to be made and to find their way to the Indian Museum.

The present Fasciculus contains the figures of the Shallow-water Ophiuroidea described by Dr. Koehler in the Bulletin Scientifique de la France et de la Belgique and in the Bulletin de la Societé Zoologique de France, for 1898. The figures form eight plates, which are numbered XV-XXII in continuation of the plates of Deep-sea Ophiuroïdea published last year.

I have, in behalf of the Trustees of the Museum and of the Naturalists of the ‘ Investigator, to record my best thanks to Dr. Koehler for having carried an onerous

voluntary undertaking to a happy issue,

A. ALCoCKk, Major, LM.S., Superintendent of the Indian Museum.
