356 dihector's report. 



A party of members of the International Congress of Zoology, which 

 met this year in Cambridge, visited the Laboratory, and took part in 

 two dredging excursions in the Busy Bee on August 31st. 



During the Bristol meeting of the British Association a number of 

 marine tanks were exhibited by the Marine Biological Association at 

 the Zoological Gardens, Clifton. 



Some alterations have been made in the arrangement of the 

 Aquarium, which have proved advantageous in rendering the tanks 

 more attractive, and in effectively exhibiting some of the smaller fishes 

 and invertebrates. Additional storage room, which has long been 

 badly needed, has been added to the Laboratory by the erection of 

 a galvanized-iron shed at the back of the building.
