and consequently he had to leave the employ of the Com- 

 mittee. He has been succeeded as keeper by Thomas 

 Jarrett, who was at one time an assistant at the Biologi- 

 cal Station and left, of his own accord, for the purpose of 

 getting married — after which he went to sea. 



Jarrett and his wife have now been in charge of the 

 Station for some weeks, and are carrying on the work of 

 taking observations and making collections very satis- 

 factorily. Only a few days ago, by taking a tow-netting off 

 Puffin Island in the very early morning before it was light, 

 he obtained a number of specimens of the interesting 

 phosphorescent Schizopod Nyctiphanes norvegica, which had 

 never been found before in our district.
