PRICE LIST OF MARINE SPECIMENS. 



THE following list contains a selection of the more common forms of 

 marine animals and plants which occur in the neighbourhood of 

 Plymouth, and are suitable for laboratory work and for museums. 



Preserved specimens are usually in stock, and can then be forwarded 

 immediately on receipt of order ; the prices quoted are for such specimens. 

 Living specimens will generally be charged at the same rate as preserved 

 specimens, but when delivery is required on a particular day an extra 

 charge may be made, according to the additional labour involved. 



All orders are attended to as promptly as possible ; but when fresh 

 specimens are required a delay is often unavoidable, owing to uncertainty 

 of weather, or to scarcity of animals at the particular season. 



It should be stated, in ordering, whether the specimens are required for 

 museums, dissection, or histological work. The prices include spirit in the 

 case of preserved specimens, and glass tubes for all small ones. Hampers, 

 barrels, packing-cases, bottles, jars and tins will be charged for. Hampers 

 and barrels may be returned, and will be allowed for in full, if not damaged. 

 Small parcels are forwarded by Parcel Post ; large packages by goods train 

 in the case of preserved specimens, by passenger train for living ones. 



Special attention will be paid to orders for rare animals and plants, and 

 stages in their development. 



The list of Algfe contains specimens most suitable for laboratory work, 

 preserved to show their various reproductive stages and other special 

 features. 



A list of papers dealing with special groups, and supplying the 

 information on the fauna and flora hitherto published by the Association, 

 is given below. 



Cheques should be made payable to the Marine Biological Association, 

 and all communications addressed to The Director, The Laboratory, 

 Citadel Hill, Plymouth.
