THIKTEENTH ANNUAL EEPOKT of the LIVEB- 



POOL MAKINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE and 



their BIOLOGICAL STATION at POET EEIN. 



By Professor W. A. HEEDMAN, D.Sc, F.E.S. 



The past year has been notable in several respects. In 

 the amount and quality of the students' work at the 

 Biological Station it is, I consider, the best year we have 

 ever had ; several new lines of investigation have been 

 started; a new set of publications — the L.M.B.C. Memoirs 

 — has been successfully launched, and we have renewed 

 our tenancy of the buildings at Port Erin under new 

 landlords. All these and other matters will be dealt with 

 in order in the following pages. We may begin, as usual, 

 with the formal statistics as to the occupation of the work 

 tables at the Laboratory, and then pass to the Curator's 

 report upon the events of the year at Port Erin. Work 

 at Liverpool, the publications of the Committee, and wider 

 considerations, such as the result of the Stockholm Con- 

 ference on Marine Exploration, will close the Eeport. 



The Station Eecord. 



During the past year the following naturalists have
