THE
MALDIVES.

Manufactures.
Notes.
92 SESSIONAL PAPERS, 1881.
Systematic examination and description of the icthyology and conchology of this archipelago,—
the widest and most promising branch of its zoology,—must be left to future investigators. For
the present, a scanty list of sea fish and shells, identified with more or less certainty, is inserted,
as of possible interest.
