Abstract
MRS. RICARDO BERTRAM is a naturalist (fisheries), Miss Trewavas is a systematist (ichthyology), and Mr. John Borley is an administrator with a background of natural history, and between them they studied the fisheries in Lake Nyasa, and, in spite of many difficulties, they have followed up their eight months in the field by producing this handsome report. The report is well set out, clearly written, and illustrated with beautiful and instructive photographs. With its generous appendixes, it will be the standard work on the subject for many years to come. It has no index.
