Abstract
THE results being accumulated by the Great Barrier Reef Committee of Australia, the activities of which are directed by Prof. H. C. Richards, are highly creditable, but the task of closely investigating about ¼ million square miles of land, reef, and water is herculean. Investigations have to be governed by finance and the number of researchers available. The result here is a lack of system, which, however, has had its parallel in the investigations of the coasts of Great Britain and elsewhere.
