XXVill DIRECTOR'S REPORT.—NO. III. 
This number of the Journal consists almost entirely of papers on 
the results of work done at this Laboratory or at the Cleethorpes 
Laboratory by Mr. Holt. I need say nothing of what my colleagues 
have done, but I should like to add that the short abstract given by 
Mr. Allen gives the main points only of a series of papers published 
elsewhere, detailing the outcome of more than a year of laborious 
research which Mr. Allen spent at the Laboratory. The original 
papers are illustrated with plates containing a number of complicated 
figures, showing the course of a large number of the nerves in the 
lobster and other histological details. 
This Journal has for some time been devoted almost entirely to the 
publication of work done by the naturalists of the Association, and 
private workers in the Laboratory. It is now proposed to resume 
the insertion of articles on the subjects with which we are concerned, 
abstracted from foreign publications, or contributed by colonial, 
American, or continental workers in the same fields. Many of 
H.B.M. Consuls may have useful and interesting information on the 
many sides of the subject of sea fishes and sea fisheries, oyster-culture, 
fish-hatching, and breeding. I beg to invite the gentlemen abroad, 
who are employed on similar work to ours, to send either early copies 
of their publications, or to communicate the main results of their work 
for the benefit of our members and other readers.
