REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 285 



at thirty fathoms, and some little time must elapse before the results of 

 the research are sufficiently complete for publication. 



The Laboratory has continued to supply preserved specimens of 

 marine animals and plants to the Universities and other teaching 

 institutions, as well as to a number of museums in different parts of 

 the world. Many private workers have also been provided with 

 specially-prepared material for their own researches. This specimen 

 trade pays its own expenses, and is of considerable advantage to 

 biological science in general, as well as to the Association. 



Published Memoirs. 



The following papers, either wholly or in part the outcome of work 

 done at the Laboratory, have been published elsewhere than in the 

 Journal of the Association : —

Donations and Receipts. 



The Eeceipts for the year include the grants from H.M. Treasury 

 (£1,000) and the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers (£400), 

 Founder's Subscription (£100), Composition Fees (£15), Annual Sub- 

 scriptions (£138), Eent of Tables in the Laboratory (£54), Sale of 

 Specimens (£238), Admission to the Tank Eoom (£76). The total 

 income for the year amounts to £2,059 19s. M. The Council desires 

 to call attention to the statement made by ]\Ir. Hanbury (Times, 

 June 16th, 1900), and to observe that it is not the case that the 

 Association is not in need of increased funds. The balance shown 

 in the yearly accounts of the Association is no surplus, but merely 

 the usual working balance of a current account.
