50 REPOET OF THE COUNCIL. 



The Laboratories. 



The Laboratories at Plymouth and at Lowestoft have been maintained 

 in an efficient state, and both are well equipped for the work which 

 they undertake. 



The Boats. 



The Oithona and Hudcy have both worked successfully during the 

 year, and have given great satisfaction to those who have conducted 

 the experimental work at sea. 



The sailing-boat Anton, Bohrn was again used during the winter 

 months for collecting work in connection with the Plymouth 

 Laboratory. It would add to the efficiency of the winter work 

 if this boat could be replaced by a small motor fishing-boat, which 

 would be better able to take advantage of fine weather during the 

 winter months. 



The Staff. 



Mr. W. P>ygrave, b.a., of Christ's College, Cambridge, has succeeded 

 Dr. Gough as Assistant Naturalist for Plankton Investigations, on the 

 appointment of the latter to the post of Assistant in the Pretoria 

 Museum. 



Mr. C. L. Walton has been appointed a temporary Assistant 

 Naturalist at Lowestoft for work on the steamer Hnxley.
