"Scotia" During the Years 1902, 1903, and 1904, Vol. 4: Zoology; Parts II. XX.; Vertebrates It is the most complete treatise on Antarctic vertebrate fauna yet published in any country. Sir thomas glen coats has thus helped to perpetuate the work begun by his family, and, as a Scotsman, has also emphasised the national importance of Scotland as a potent unit of the British Empire. Material for other six volumes awaits publication, and it is hoped that this good example at a critical period will stimulate others to provide the necessary funds to complete publication. Volume IV. (vertebrates) of the Scoria Reports is a contribution to Antarctic Vertebrate Zoology. It also includes the consideration of Atlantic fishes besides those of Antarctic regions. I have to thank those who have voluntarily given their time and who have put such excellent work into its pages. It happens that this volume is the work entirely of British zoologists Wales, England, and Scotland having each taken part in its compilation.
