first of the several workers at the laboratory to secure embryos of 
Bdellostoma ; while on the botanical side F. M. M*‘Farland and 
L. H. Campbell have been in frequent attendance. President Jordan 
has also taken the warmest personal interest in the work of the 
station, and although his researches have hardly been carried on at 
Pacific Grove, he has, nevertheless, been a constant visitor. 
It is evident, perhaps, from the foregoing pages that the zoologi- 
cal station of the Stanford University has neither the equipment 
nor the subsidies of the Stazione at Naples, or even, as yet, of the 
laboratory at Wood’s Holl; but the zoologist will certainly find 
there all of the facilities for his work which can reasonably be 
needed. The warm interest which Dr. Jenkins has shewn in the 
welfare of each worker of the station will not be forgotten ; and it 
is doubtless due in no small degree to this care that the visitor

takes away with him the kindliest recollections of Stanford’s hospi- 
tality. The richness of the fauna and flora of this little nook in the 
Pacific cannot fail to leave the strongest impression upon the 
visitor's mind. He will remember the rugged shore line, with its 
stunted and twisted cypresses (Fig. 4), the sunken rocks bristling 
with the largest sea-urchins, the bright-coloured star-fishes, the 
orange-red Cucumaria, a yard in length. So too the tidal rocks 
covered with Pollicipes, the clumps of palm-tree-shaped Postelsia, 
the tangled masses of bull-kelp (Wereocystis luteana), whose stems 
are often many fathoms in length ; the field-like areas of Macrocystis 
(M. pyrifera); the rich molluscan fauna, including the red shelled 
Haliotis, to be found even at the base of the laboratory rocks, 
Cryptochiton (C. stelleri) seven inches long, and abundant nudibranchs. 
There is a wealth of ascidians, annelids and hydroids. Nor. does
