The British Government and Marine Biology
Abstract
IN a note in your issue of February 25 announcing the appointment of Mr. James Hornell, who, it is stated, acted as Prof. Herdman's assistant during the Ceylon pearl oyster investigation, to the post of marine biologist to the Government of Ceylon and inspector of the pearl banks, it is said that ``the appointment is of interest as showing how in the recognition of science some of our colonies are in advance of the mother country. We have no `marine biologist to the Government' here.''
