416 KEPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 



The Boats. 



The Association's steamer Oitlwna continues to work successfully in 

 the English Channel, and is in excellent condition both as regards 

 efficiency and seaworthiness. The sailing boat Anton Dohrn, which 

 carries on the collecting work during the winter, is also in good repair. 



The steam trawler Hu^vley, which was chartered from Mr. G. P. 

 Bidder in the iirst instance for a period of three years, has been 

 retained for the further period of two years, during which the Associa- 

 tion has been asked l)y His Majesty's Government to continue the 

 International Investigations. Mr. Bidder has, with great generosity, 

 undertaken to return to the Association each year, for the purposes of 

 the investigations, the sum of £500 from the amount due to him for 

 the hire of the vessel.

Mr. L. K. Crawshay, m.a., has been appointed Assistant Naturalist
