Abstract
IN July 1939 an expedition, organized by Dr. V. J. Chapman, of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, left for Jamaica to study certain aspects of the flora and fauna of that island and the physiography of its surrounding sand cays. I undertook this last and, by the generosity of this Society, was able to take with me Mr. J. A. Lofthouse, of St. Catharine's College, as surveyor. This paper was written while waiting for a ship home and during the voyage, having been compiled immediately after the outbreak of war, while the material was fresh in mind and could be put on record as soon as possible; it represents only a part of our work. I would like to thank all members of the expedition who helped me, but especially Mr. J. Colman, whose knowledge of coral reefs in Australia and Florida is extensive. The field work was carried out during a cruise of four weeks in the schooner J. E. Taylor, of George Town, Cayman Islands, under the command of Captain Theophilus Ritch, who, with his crew, gave invaluable help in all ways.
