The Contents include an outline of the origin of Marine Survey in East Indian waters; an account of the objects and methods of marine surveying in general, and particularly of the methods employed in deep-sea research; a general sketch of the hydrography and zoology of the Indian Sea-basins, with numerous original biological observations and nearly a hundred figures of all the characteristic types of deep-sea life; narratives of four surveying-cruises to numerous coasts and estuaries of the Indian Peninsula, and to many of the little-known Islands of the Andaman and Laccadive Archipelagos; a descriptive Catalogue of 'Investigator' deep-sea dredging stations; and a complete bibliography of the scientific work hitherto published by the Naturalists' Department of the Indian Marine Survey.

The Fishing Gazette says:—"One of the best books on sport which we have had for a long time.... The rest of the work I must reserve for another note, contenting myself now with a strong recommendation to my readers to get Mr. Buxton's capital work."
