In recent years he has paid special attention to the Sea-snakes, has travelled extensively in order to study them in their native haunts, and has made a large collection of them which he has presented to the British Museum (Natural History). He has also examined the Sea-snakes preserved in all the great museums of the world, so that this revision of this interesting and difficult group is the result of an investigation based on a much larger series of specimens than has been seen by any previous worker."
