REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 



305 



To accommodate this class a room on the ground-floor of the east block 



of the building has been specially fitted up, so that research workers in 



the large laboratory are in no way interfered with. It is believed that 



by thus arousing interest in marine investigations before the students 



have completed their university course, many of them will be likely to 



subsequently use the Laboratory for the purpose of scientific research. 



Amongst the papers, either wholly or in part the outcome of work 



done in the Laboratory, which have appeared elsewhere than in the 



Journal of the Association, are the following : 



Allen, E. J. — Studies on the Nervous System of Crustacea: Quart. Journ. Micr.
