REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 583 



year, and has continued to cany out experimental investigations on 

 tissue growth, which bear directly on the cancer problem. 



Mr. G. R. Mines, of the Cambridge Physiological Laboratory, assisted 

 by Miss D. Dale, also of Cambridge, carried out at the Laboratory 

 during last summer an important physiological investigation on the 

 relations to electrolytes of the heart muscles of different species of 

 skates and rays and of the mollusc, Fcden majimus. Mr. Mines's work 

 showed what useful facilities the Laboratory can offer for pliysiulogical 

 investigation, and it is the desire of the Council to do all in their 

 power to encourage researches of this kind, 



A fifth Blue Book has just been published by H.M. Stationery Office, 

 containing the Fourth Eeport upon the work done by the Marine 

 Biological Association in connection with the International Investigation 

 of North Sea Fisheries. This report contains detailed memoirs on the 

 experiments with marked plaice carried out in the North Sea, and on 

 the transplantation of plaice from the inshore grounds to the Dogger 

 Bank. The details of the trawling experiments made by the s.s. 

 Huxley in the years 1906-9 are also recorded.
