REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 415 



Notwithstanding the additions mentioned above, it may be pointed 

 out that, especially with the larger steamboat now purchased, the staff 

 of investigators is quite insufficient to get the maximum advantage 

 from the plant provided by the Association. With a negligible addition 

 to the working expenses, the Laboratory is now in a position to provide 

 accommodation and material for several more naturalists working 

 throughout the whole year, but the restricted balance-sheet leaves 

 absolutely no funds for additional salaries.
