devoting the whole session to the algre, those working throughout on the fungi, 

 and those who divided the time between the two classes. 



The wetness of the season brought on an abundant supply of fungi; twenty- 

 six species of myxomycetes alone were found. Expeditions near and far brought 

 to the laboratory tanks, also, the usual rich assortment of algae. 



The lower floor was occupied by two classes — in physiology and in ecology, 

 respectively. The former reached a circle much larger than the class, many 

 zoologists and other workers attending the lectures. The ecology people spent 

 much of their time in the field, and made the beginning of an ecological survey 

 of the vicinity. At the close of the term many members joined in a botanizing 

 party to the White Mountains. 



Year by year the work in botany will take new steps forward, and seeking 

 ever to turn the students in the direction of research, it may well do its share 

 in upholding the Marine Laboratory ideal of productive scholarship.
