APPENDIX E CXXIII 



and he was assisted by Mr. T. B. Kurata, of Toronto, as préparateur. 

 Mr. A. D. Robertson, Fellow in Biology, Toronto, completed his two 

 years' investigation of the Molluscan fauna of the Bay, and his volumi- 

 nous report with a series of splendid illustrations, is in the hands of 

 the Board. 



Professor W. T. MacClement, Queen's University, occupied him- 

 self with the study of aquatic algse, especially fungi, and the Sapro- 

 legnaccse were given particular attention. 



Mr. Wadehouse took up the Crustacea, hydrachnidae and neurop- 

 teriod larvœ, forming part of the food for fishes. 



Mr. A. R. Cooper, Fellow in Biology, Toronto, continued his work 

 on fish parasites, especially the Trematodes, Cestodes, etc., while Mr. 

 H. T. White, Science Master, Brantford Collegiate Institute, devoted 

 himself to the Polyzoa of the Go-Home District. 



Miss Penson and Mr Klugh of Queen's University, collected and 

 studied fungi, and the latter assisted Mr. Robertson in his Molluscan 

 researches. 



Dr. Walker completed his elaborate investigations on the seasonal 

 occurrence and ecological distribiition of dragon-flies and other aquatic 

 insects. The abundance of fish depends in a measure upon the larval 

 and other stages of water insects and Dr. Walker's report will have a 

 very practical bearing on the fisheries. 



Dr. Bensley has put in final form his studies of the fishes of Geor- 

 gian Bay, and his very full report on nearly fifty species, belonging to 

 37 genera and 20 families is of unusual importance and illustrated by 

 a fine series of photographs of fishes. 



A new volume of "Contributions to Canadian Biology" forming 

 part IV. of the series issued under the Biological Board is now nearing 

 completion and embraces twenty papers embodying part of the re- 

 searches carried on by the staff during the last three or four years. It 

 will include a large number of scientific plates. 



It may be added that a number of important scientific memoirs 

 by workers from England and other countries have been published 

 during the last twelve months, in German and British journals, two 

 papers being published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Microscop- 

 ical Science, one paper in the Zoological Society's Proceedings, London; 

 one in the annals of Natural History and the Cambridge Philosophical 

 Proceedings and one valuable paper in Spengel's Zoologisch, Jahrbuch 

 1912, all these papers containing results of researches at the Canadian 

 Biological Stations.
