During the last two years I have been able, through the kindness of the
Director of the Taronga Zoological Park and the help of the staff of the Zoo
Aquarium, to study and make observations upon Mollusca, particularly sea-slugs
and sea-hares, living there in captivity. This has helped me considerably in
identifying or describing material, as the animals of both these groups mentioned
are liable to undergo a severe change in colour and form in preservative, and
unless some record of these characters is made when the animals are alive, later
research work on them may prove very difficult.
My thanks are, therefore, due to those who have helped me in this way, and
I hope as a result of the opportunities afforded me, and with the aid of the
material in the Australian Museum collection, to publish papers dealing with these
two groups, so common in Australia yet so much neglected, the sea·slugs and
the sea-hares.
