220 director's report. 



fauna and flora of the outlying grounds between the Eddystone and 

 Start Point. It is proposed, during the next six months, to dredge over 

 the same grounds again, in order to confirm the results already arrived 

 at, and to fill in the many gaps which at present exist in the rough 

 cliarts that have been made. 



The naturalists who have occupied tables at the Laboratory, since the 

 publication of the list in my last Eeport, are : — 



E. T. Browne, b.a., August 19th to September 30th (Medusce). 



G. Brebner, September 5th (Marine Algoc). 



S. D. Scott, B.A., September 16th to October 5th (General Zoology). 



A. H. Church, b.a., December 17th to December 25th (Marine Algm). 



E. H. Chapman, December 28th to January 20th (General Zoology). 



T. H. Taylor, m.a., January 6th to 10th (Polyzoa). 



Of the gentlemen whose names appeared in the previous list, Dr. Bethe 

 remained until the middle of October, and Messrs. Eiches and Bidder 

 until December, so that the number of workers at the Laboratory during 

 the later months of the year has been somewhat larger than usual. 



It will be noticed that two naturalists have been engaged in the 

 study of marine alga3. It is some time since botanists have taken 

 advantage of the facilities afforded at the Laboratory for this kind of 

 work, but it is hoped that for the future this want of support may not 

 be continued. If those interested in marine botany could obtain the 

 necessary funds for the purpose, it would be an excellent thing to 

 have a botanist permanently stationed at Plymouth.
