REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, 579 



by accidental drowning whilst yachting in Loch Fyne is a cause of 

 deep regret to the many friends who have met him at the Laboratory, 

 which he has constantly visited during the last seventeen years — also 

 presented the Laboratory with a small punt, which is very convenient 

 for use with the motor-boat. 



A floating cage or tank has been constructed and moored in Cawsand 

 Bay. This has proved very useful for storing animals of various kinds 

 before bringing them to the Laboratory. It has been found that 

 animals, especially those captured in deeper water, live much better in 

 the Laboratory tanks after having spent some time in this floating tank. 



The Staff. 



In addition to the members of the staff mentioned in last year's 

 Keport, Mr. L. 11. Crawshay has been employed temporarily to complete 

 his report on the fauna of the deep-water grounds of the English 

 Channel which lie to the south-west of the Eddystone.
