MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 123 



at Port Erin, first, for the purpose of letting workers and 

 students know what books they will find in the laboratory, 

 and secondly in the hope that the short list will suggest 

 to members of the Committee, other naturalists, sub- 

 scribers, and friends, some deficiencies in our library which 

 might be made good by contributions from their own 

 shelves. It may be convenient to state that what the 

 Committee aim at is merely a small working library of 

 Marine Biology, and that the most important books for 

 their purposes — after a few standard text books and works 

 of reference — are monographs or important papers on 

 British Marine animals and plants.* In addition to the 

 books in the following list, there is also in the book-case 

 a considerable number of pamphlets kindly sent by 

 authors, and dealing mostly with the Marine Biology of 

 the neighbourhood. We are always glad to have such 

 author's reprints. 



Alder and Hancock. — Monograph of the British 



Nudibranchiate Mollusca. — in seven parts. Ray 



Society, 1845-55. 

 Baird. — British Entomostraca. Ray Society, 1850. 

 Balfour. — Comparative Embryology. 2 vols., 1880. 

 Bell. — British Stalk-Eyed Crustacea, 1853. 

 Brady and Norman. — Monograph of British Ostracoda 



Part I. Trans. R. Dublin Soc, 1889. 

 Brady. — Monograph of the Free and semiparasitic 



Copepoda of the British Islands. 3 vols., Ray 



Soc, 1878. 



* A few books and papers which have from time to time been kindly sent 

 to the L.M.B.C., but which have no particular bearing upon British .Marine 

 Biology, have been deposited temporarily in the library of the Biological 

 Society in Liverpool, where they will be more used and more appreciated 

 than at Tort Erin,
