 the beginning of the fiscal year and remained open until September 25, 

 the same temporary quarters being occupied as in previous years. 

 Prof. H. V. Wilson, of the University of North Carolina, continued in 

 charge. A dwelling-house near the laboratory was rented for a dor- 

 mitory and mess-house. The launch Petrel was attached to the station 

 during the season and was in constant use. About 20 persons availed 

 themselves of the privilege of working at the laboratoiy; these, with 

 the institutions with which they were connected, were as follows:

 the peculiarity of the bottom in many places, the ordinary methods of 

 planting arc inapplica})le.
