Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report to the Government of Ceylon on the Pearl Oyster Fisheries of the Gulf of Manaar, Vol. 4: With Supplementary Reports Upon the Marine Biology of Ceylon, by Other Naturalists Another factor which may have an important bearing upon the future history Of the Ceylon Pearl Fisheries is the proposal that the pearl banks should be leased for a period of years to a Syndicate, which will be bound by the terms of the lease to expend a considerable sum annually in the cultivation and exploitation of the fishing grounds. It seems probable at the time of issuing this volume that the next Ceylon Pearl Fishery will be held under the auspices of the Syndicate.
