Abstract
THE publications of the Asiatic Society of Bengal during the years 1916 to 1919, which we have lately received for review, contain a large number of contributions to biology, showing an activity in this department that has not been surpassed before. If we consider also the publications issued by the Indian Museum, the Calcutta Botanic Gardens, and the flourishing Bombay Natural History Society, we have reason to rejoice over the prosperous state of this branch of knowledge in our Indian Empire. Allusion should be made also to the enterprise of Dr. N. Annandale, who, alone or with other members of the Zoological Survey of India, of which he is the director, has in the last seven years investigated the macroscopic fauna of various Asiatic lakes, with results that are of the greatest interest.
