428 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 
Miss Lebour has since commenced to study the actual food found in 
larval and post-larval fishes, which feed upon plankton organisms. 
This is largely a new field of investigation, which is already giving 
promise of results of considerable interest. 
Mr. W. De Morgan has been again engaged in studying the marine 
protozoa, and Mrs. E. W. Sexton has extended and developed the 
studies on the Mendelian inheritance of eye-colour in Gammarus 
referred to above. 
Published Memoirs. 
The following papers, either wholly or in part the outcome of work 
done at the Laboratory, have been published elsewhere than in the 
Journal of the Association :—

pp. 257-261.

The Library. 
The thanks of the Association are due to numerous Government 
Departments, Universities and other institutions at home and abroad 
for copies of books and current numbers of periodicals presented to 
the Library. The list is similar to that published in the Reports of 
Council of former years. A number of authors have been good enough 
to send reprints of their papers for the Library, and to these also 
thanks are due. 
Donations and Receipts. 
The receipts for the year include a grant from H.M. Treasury of 
£500, being on account of the war one-half of the sum granted in 
recent years, a grant from the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries’ 
Development Fund (£400), and one from the Fishmongers’ Company 
(£600). In addition to these grants there have been received Annual 
Subscriptions (£104), Rent of Tables in the Laboratory, including £25 
trom the University of London and £20 from the Trustees of the Ray 
Linkester Fund (£50); Sale of Specimens (£313) and Admission to 
Tank Room (£89),
