Excerpt from The Second Report Upon the Fauna of Liverpool Bay: And the Neighbouring Seas
The first volume of this series of L.M.B.C. Reports upon the Fauna and Flora of Liverpool Bay was published in the summer of 1886, as an Appendix to vol. xl. of the Proceedings of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool, and also separately as a volume of 372 pages, ten plates and two maps. Later on in the same year the Liverpool Biological Society was founded, chiefly as an outcome of the L.M.B.C. investigations and through the instrumentality of the members of that committee, and it was then felt that this would in future be the proper scientific society before which to lay all reports upon the biology of the district. The various papers bound up in the present volume have therefore been duly read before the Liverpool Biological Society, during the last two sessions (1887-88 and 1888-89), and have been, or are now being, published in the "Proceedings" (vols. ii. and iii.).
The L.M.B.C. have to thank the Council of the Liverpool Biological Society for allowing extra copies of these reports to be printed in order that they might be collected and issued as the second volume of "The Fauna of Liverpool Bay." It is proposed to continue this arrangement, and to issue succeeding volumes of collected reports upon the fauna and flora of the district as they are ready, probably at intervals of a few years.
