Beaufort, North Carolina (H. V. Wilson, Director). 



The Fish Commission laboratory at this place was in operation at 

 the beginning- of the fiscal 3^ear and remained open until September 25, 

 the same temporary quarters being occupied as in previous years. 

 Prof. H. V. Wilson, of the University of North Carolina, continued in 

 charge. A dwelling-house near the laboratory was rented for a dor- 

 mitory and mess-house. The launch Petrel was attached to the station 

 during the season and was in constant use. About 20 persons availed 

 themselves of the privilege of working at the laboratoiy; these, with 

 the institutions with which they were connected, were as follows: 



Johns IlopJdns University: Prof. W. K. Brooks, Dr. Caswell Grave, Messrs. R. P. 



Cowles, D. H. Tennent, O. C. Glaser, R. E. Coker, and J. A. E. Eyster.

 Dartmouth College: Dr. J. H. Gerould. 



Professor Brooks studied the eggs of the oyster and preserved 

 material for further work on the same. Prof. E. B. Wilson was 

 engaged in experimental studies of the living eggs of the sea-urchin, 

 Toxojnieudes^ and Professor Morgan worked on the eggs and larvte of 

 the same species in connection with his researches on regeneration. 

 Professor Linton began a systematic examination of the food-fishes of 

 the Beaufort region with reference to their parasites. Professor 

 Graham studied a trematode worm w hich is parasitic in the oyster. 



Dr. Grave, assisted by Mr. Glaser, continued the work on the biol- 

 ogy of the North Carolina 03'ster and conducted expernuents with a 

 view to develop a method by which oyster-farming may be success- 

 fully carried on in the North Carolina sounds, where, on account of 

 the peculiarit}' of the bottom in many places, the ordinary luethods of 

 planting are inapplicable.
