Oceanografski Institut Kraljevine Jugoslavije 



(Oceanographic Institution of the Kingdom 



of Yugoslavia) ('37) 



History or origin: After the Great War and the 

 creation of the new State of Yugoslavia, upon 

 the proposal of the Yugoslavian Academy of 

 Sciences and Arts at Zagreb in 1919 to the Royal 

 Serbian Academy of Belgrade, there was consti- 

 tuted within the two academies a committee 

 which had for its purpose the establishment of an 

 institute of marine biology. In compliance with 

 the desires of the academies, the State has made 

 during a series of years in its annual budgets an 

 important appropriation intended for the con- 

 struction of the institution. In the year 1930 a 

 provisional station was established in rented 

 quarters, but during the past year 1933, the first 

 building intended to lodge the officers of the 

 institution was erected. Leaving the rented 

 quarters, the station has provisionally occupied 



the ground floor of the newly erected building 

 where it is now installed. At the same time, 

 work was begun on the large building which will 

 also contain an aquarium and of which the roof 

 is already in place. The interior work on the 

 building will soon be undertaken and it is expected 

 that it will be entirely complete within three 

 years.
