9. PUBLICATIONS FROM THE MARINE 

 BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY 



The following list comprising some 860 titles is a compila- 

 tion of publications representing the activities of the Labora- 

 tory in the line of research from its foundation to the end 

 of the year 1907. While the attempt has been to make the 

 list exhaustive, it is not believed that this result has been attained, 

 because there had been no systematic effort since 1895 to ^ ee P 

 account of the publications. The present list includes the list 

 of 1895 published in the eighth annual report, the titles of 

 addresses published in the volumes of lectures delivered at the 

 Laboratory, and the results of a circular letter sent to those who 

 have conducted investigations at the Laboratory from the begin- 

 ning. The greater number of titles were secured in replies to 

 this circular letter, and the list is therefore official in the sense 

 that it is made up of titles furnished by the investigators them- 

 selves. Titles indicated by the letter B are of publications of 

 which only a minor part of the research was accomplished in 

 the Marine Biological Laboratory. A copy of the circular letter 

 referred to above follows : 



" I shall consider it a great favor if you will send me a list of your 

 publications which have been based, even in part, on work done at the 

 Marine Biological Laboratory. Will you kindly indicate by the letter 

 A publications which have been based on material collected in the 

 main at the Marine Biological Laboratory, and by B publications 

 which were not based on such material, but in which part at least of 

 the study was accomplished while a member of the Marine Biological 

 Laboratory. The value of this compilation will depend largely on its 

 completeness. 



" Your compliance with this request will be of great service to 

 the Marine Biological Laboratory and its management. Thanking 

 you, I am 



" Respectfully yours, 

 " Assistant Director, Marine Biological Laboratory"
