[None. Introduction starts as:]
This report deals with benthic species only; the pelagic species collected by the Expedition will be described in a later publication. The specimens in this collection were obtained from various points on the Great Barrier Reef, the majority from Low Isles (lat. 16° 23'S.). Those collected in the course of the ecological survey of Low Isles and the neighbouring reefs have in the locality lists after the words ''Gen. survey'' and the date a place-name or a symbol referring to the key-chart given in Dr. Stephenson’s report on the ecological survey. Dredged or trawled specimens have a station-number, and the name of the boat in which they were obtained preceding their specifications of locality. A full account of the stations and the apparatus used is contained in Dr. C. M. Yonge’s report on the conduct of the expedition.
