Excerpt from Report to the Government of Ceylon on the Pearl Oyster Fisheries of the Gulf of Manaar, Vol. 3: With Supplement Reports Upon the Marine Biology of Ceylon, by Other Naturalists
Consequently the sections on Pearl-formation and Pearl-distribution and on the different kinds of pearls and their natural classification have been postponed, and I have inserted in this Part only (1) a discussion of the recent fishery (1904) based on a report sent to me by Mr. Hornell, (2) a statement as to the present condition and future prospects of the beds of oysters on the Banks, based on Mr. Hornell's letters and other documents, and (3) a further account of the internal Parasites of the Pearl Oyster, by Mr. Shipley and Mr. Hornell, in which several new species of Cestode, Trematode and Nematode worms are described and figured.
