During a recent tour of tho coasts of tho Unitod States and Southom 

 Canada for tho purpose of becoming acquainted with tho physical plants, person- 

 nel, teaching programs and research projects of tho various marine laboratories, 

 I became aware of a need for oomo published information on those important 

 institutions of marine science in North America. In preparing this directory 

 to the marine laboratories of tho Unitod States and Canada I have attempted to 

 sot forth in a concise f oAion the typo of information which should be available 

 to marine scientists for a variety of uses, e.g., exchange of reprints, general 

 correspondence about comparable problems, selection of experienced personnel by 

 administrators, selection of laboratories for research during summers or sabat- 

 tical leaves, selection of laboratories offering courses in tho marine sciences, 

 and for becoming acquainted generally with the number, types, and programs of 

 the several marine laboratories. Naturally, tho first edition of such a project 

 as this will require corrections and additions. No laboratory or member of its 

 professional staff has been omitted intentionally. I hope that such corrections 

 as can be made by users will bo sent along to me so that the next edition, should 

 thoro bo sufficient interest to justify it, may contain fewer errors than the 

 present one. No segregation of disciplines has been made, but rather the 

 personnel has been grouped as marine scientists. 



The list of laboratories contains many comparatively now ones and omits 

 older ones which have recently been abandoned. Among tho laboratories' no longer 

 extant are the University of Maine Marino Laboratory, Ellsworth, Maine, the Isles 

 of Shoals Marine Biological Laboratoiy, Portsmouth, Now Hampshire, and tho USFiJS 

 Fisheries Laboratory, College Park, Jferylard, Two laboratories, formerly engaged 

 in marine investigations, have turned their interest to subjects which remove 

 then from a roster of truly rrarine laboratories. They are the Mount Desert 

 Island Biological Laboratory, Salisbury Cove, t'hine, and the Long Island Biologi- 

 cal Association Biological Laboratoi^', Cold Spring Harbor, New York. 



The laboratories are listed in alphabetical order, but since many are 

 commonly knovm by incomplete names, an index to them is included. Tho persons 

 affiliated with each laboratory in 1949 aro listed. For information concerning 

 their respective field of marine science and their current research project refer 

 to tho alphabetical list of personnel at the end of the directory. 



Information listed for each marine scientist includes his address at a 

 marine laboratory and his permanent address, should it be different, his special 

 field of training, and his current research project if the information was 

 available. 



An addendum includes those persons about v;hom information, for one reason 

 or another, was not included in tho alphabetical list. 



To tho Directors of tho laboratories and the scientific staffs who 

 provided mo y;ith the information contained in this directory, and who extended 

 their fine hospitality to my wife and myself on our visit to the laboratories, 

 my hearty thanks are duo. Special thanks are duo to Itrs. Charles Cutross, who 

 typed and assisted with the arrangement of tho manuscript.
