During the recent visit of the Atlantic Fleet to the West Indies naturalists from the British Museum (Natural History), South Kensington, were for the first time carried in one of his Majesty's ships during the ordin. ary Spring cruise of a portion of the Navy,

The suggestion that this should be done was first made last year by the Director of the Natural History Museum, with the dual object of obtaining mar iné specimens for the purpose of classification and research and of interesting officers of the Fleet. in the opportunities afforded to amateur naturalists in the Navy. Captain A. K. Totton, an assist- ant keeper at the Museum at South Kensington, who has spe- cialised in the study of corals. jelly-fish, and zoophytes, wag ne- cordingly invited by the Ad- miralty to sail as a guest in H.M.S.

The Rodney left Home at the beginning of the second week of January, and the ertise, which included visits to Trinidad, Tobago, St. Vincent, and Antigua, was continued with Fleet exer- cises at Gibraltar, where the naturalists obtained opportuni- ties of acquiring further speci- mens. Tho officers of the Museum were away three months altogether, and have now return- ed with a very large number of specimens of marine animals of all kinds, as well as botanical specimens collected through the co-operation of botanists in the Navy. Many tropical fish, big and small, were collected and pre- served in spirits, while Mr. Stammwitz took casts and a num- ber of colour notes from live examples seen during the voyage, which will be of considerable value when completing the casts for exhibition in the galleries,

Captain Totton noted and cap- tured numerous oceanic jellyfish of particular interest. Molusca, and portions of coral reef were among the classes of life of which he was able to obtain good, speci- mens. The colour-sketches made by Mr. Stammwitz were rein- forced by a number of photo- graphs. The fall range of dis- coveries made is not likely to he available to science for some months, since there are many tanks and cases which need un- packing for study, but it is al- ready certain that the Natural History Museum has gained greatly through the courtesy of the Admiralty. Much interest was shown in the work of the ex- pedition by officers of the Rodney and other units in the Atlantic Fleet, and it is hoped that there may be further co-operation be tween the Museum and the Navy.
