derived from the Tyne into the neighbourhood of Cullercoats. 
The pollution of the Tyne has occupied a good part of the time 
of the biochemist. An experimental sub-committee for the 
watershed of the River Tyne has been formed with a view to 
making enquiries and reporting to the Ministry’s Standing 
Committee on Rivers Pollution. A full general report is being 
prepared, but a general account of the nature of the work and 
of the results is given. Miss Meek also contributes a short 
note on the influence of temperature on the growth of Zoarces. 
Mr. Flattely describes a variety of Plewrocrypta galatheae, 
and I have mentioned the discovery of a new species, Glosso- 
balanus marginatus, off the Longstone, an account of which will 
be published in the ‘Quarterly Journal of Microscopical 
Science.” 
Faunistic Notes are appended by Mr. Storrow. 
In conclusion, I would like to express my thanks to all who 
send their publications to the Laboratory’s library, and to those 
who have responded so generously to the librarian’s request 
for exchanges.
