TWELFTH ANNUAL EEPOET of the LIVEKPOOL 



MAKINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE and their 



BIOLOGICAL STATION at PORT ERIN. 



By Professor W. A. Herdman, D.Sc, F.R.S. 



The Report affords an opportunity of laying annually 

 before the Biological Society, our subscribers, and the 

 larger public of Liverpool and the neighbourhood, not only 

 a statement of the statistics of the Biological Station 

 during the year, and a record of the work done, but also 

 an outline of such plans for the future, extensions of the 

 work, and promising investigations as seem to the Director 

 worthy of being published, in the interests of Biological 

 science, in order that some possibly who are able may 

 follow up the suggestions, and that others who can afford 

 it may, if they care, provide funds to enable special pieces 

 of work to be undertaken. 



The year's work will, as usual, be reported upon first, 

 and then certain proposed investigations and more general 

 matters will be discussed (see p. 242).
