Extract

I propose in this paper reviewing very briefly the work which has been done on the Ceylon pearl-inducing worm, during the last ten years. This is particularly appropriate at the present time as the Pearl Banks—which have been under lease to a London Syndicate, who have spared no pains or money in the investigation—may at an early date revert back to the Government. It remains to be seen to what extent the Ceylon Government will profit by these investigations, and whether they will continue the work with the vigour which has characterised the Company's administration.
