Description
This comprehensive two-part report presents a detailed scientific examination of the marine zoology of Okhamandal in Kattiawar, commissioned by the government of Baroda. Author James Hornell, a distinguished marine biologist, provides meticulous documentation of the diverse aquatic fauna inhabiting this coastal region.
The report systematically catalogs and describes marine organisms, including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and other aquatic species found in the waters of Okhamandal. Hornell’s observations combine field research with taxonomic expertise, offering valuable insights into the biodiversity and ecological characteristics of the area. This work serves as both a historical record and scientific reference for understanding marine life in this region of the Arabian Sea.
Originally prepared as an official government report, this publication remains an important resource for marine biologists, historians, and researchers interested in Indian coastal ecosystems and zoological studies from the early 20th century.
