and Cambridge and the British Association for the Advancement of 

 Science have each a table. In the United States, the Smithsonian 

 Institution has one, the Carnegie Institution two, Columbia University 

 and the Association for Maintaining the American Woman's Table at 

 the Zoological Station in Naples, one each. 



For the erection of the new laboratory of comparative physiology 

 citizens of Germany have given 300,000 Marks, and with also at present 

 an annual payment of 20,000 Marks, this country lias shown implicit 

 faith in Dohrn and his work. Of the 2,000 workers up to 1910, more 

 than one half have been Germans. Besides supporting her tables, Italy 

 has contributed 100,000 francs to the second building, and for over 

 thirty years has given 5,000 francs annually to the library. During

 has been awakened in Italy, until now her workers stand in the foremost 

 ranks. In the early stages of the station English naturalists, headed 

 by Darwin, gave £1,000 and thus assured Dohrn of international sym- 

 pathy and support in his splendid work. 



Dohrn, as owner and chief of the station, established the most com- 

 plete system for the transaction of its business so that he always main- 

 tained the utmost confidence of the contributing governments and

 high ideals and will continue its remarkable development is evident to 

 any one who knows Dr. Eeinhard Dohrn. Each department is under
