The Director of the Laboratory, Dr. C. L. Whitman, reports that 

 the entire number of investigators at the laboratory during the 

 season was 130, of whom 54 were students and 76 original investi- 

 gators. 



He further states that every worker at the laboratory shares the 

 general advantage secured by the Carnegie Institution grant ; that 

 most of the occupants of the Carnegie tables were investigators of 

 established reputation, a few of them Fellows from different univer- 

 sities engaged in their first original work ; that it is not expected 

 that the work undertaken will come to publication immediately, as 

 in most cases it will necessarily extend over two or three years ; that 

 it is anticipated that the Carnegie support will not encourage hasty 

 and fragmentary production, but will secure thorough work and 

 permanent results. 



Marine Biological Station, Naples, Italy. Grant No. 55. For 

 maintenance of two tables. $1 ,000. 



Abstract of Report. — One of the tables at this station was occupied 

 for three months during the spring by Dr. E. B. Wilson, of Colum- 

 bia University, and the other by Professor H. S. Jennings, of the 

 University of Michigan. 



The remainder of the year the tables were open to whomever the 

 director of the laboratory might wish to assign to them. 



The arrangement with the laboratory was that the tables were 

 intended for the use of persons engaged in original biological re- 

 searches, and carried with them the right to be furnished with the 

 ordinary material and supplies of the laboratory. 



Student Research Work in Washington, $10,000. 



A special committee was appointed to consider the question of 

 making provision for training in Washington students who desire 

 to avail themselves of the various openings that may be offered to 

 them. The Executive Committee, after full discussion, decided 

 to place the report of the special committee on file, without action.
