[Read 9th November, 1888. ] 
THE Report upon the foundation and first season’s work 
of the Puffin Island Marine Biological Station which was 
read before this suciety at the corresponding meeting to this 
one in last session, brought the account of the affairs of 
the station up to December, 1887. Since then the usual 
work has been carried on steadily during the past year, 
without break and without any very striking feature. The 
cominittee are glad to be able to report that the station 
has been largely taken advantage of during some of the 
spring and summer months, and that as a result a great 
mass of material has been collected, and a good deal of 
practical work has been carried on. 
The following biologists have visited and worked at the 
station since the opening in the end of May, 1887 :—
