The country surrounding the harbor is hilly and well wooded. The soil is 

 moist and vegetation in the woods is rank. At its inner end a small, clear[stream. 

 Cold Spring creek, enters the harbor. This stream, within a mile of its mouth, 

 runs through three small, deep ponds, all of which are surrounded by heavy 

 woods ; a portion of its course, also, is swampy. 



GROUND PLAN OF THE JOHN D. JONES LABORATORY BUILDING. 



The situation of the laboratory is an especially favorable one, inasmuch as 

 in addition to the marine fauna and flora at hand, a rich fresh-water and wood- 

 land fauna and flora are also easily accessible, l^he harbor and the adjoining sound 

 contains a variety of environments — marsh, mud, and sand flats, hard and soft 

 bottom, each with its peculiar forms of life ; its waters are very rich in plankton.
