Excerpt from Reports of the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean in 1905, Under the Leadership of Mr. J. Stanley Gardiner, M.A, Vol. 1: Being the Twelfth Volume of the Second Series, Zoology, of the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London Here a small band of earnest students of Nature used at that period to meet together for the discussion of scientific problems; and before long, under the able leadership of the Curator of the Museum (the late Mr. A. Campbell), they entered upon a study of such forms of life, both recent and fossil, as the Museum afforded. In this way a large variety of Vertebrates were dissected and their skeletons prepared; but for an adequate examination of the Invertebrates something more was required, and consequently expeditions were undertaken to various places on the west and south coasts, where, by dredging or other methods, the leading types of marine life could be more satisfactorily studied.
