 Provisions for visiting investigators: A limited number 

 of visiting investigators, who desire either to 

 collaborate with members of the staff in the 

 regular station program or who are engaged in 

 their own researches in some branch of oceano- 

 graphic science, can be accommodated. 



In special cases facilities are available for 

 visitors to carry out investigations at sea, from 

 Atlantis. 



No formal course of instruction is offered at the 

 Institution. 

 Income: About $102,000 annually. 

 Provision for the publication of results: The serial 

 "Papers in Phy.sical Oceanography and Me- 

 teorology" supported jointly by the Institution 

 and by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 

 provides a medium for prompt publication of 

 contributions in these fields. Arrangements are 

 made for publication of investigations in Oceanic 

 Biology and Chemistry in whatever journal may 

 seem most appropriate in each particular instance. 



New Hampshire 



Isles of Shoals Marine Zoological 

 Laboratory ('37) 



History or origin : Established liy the Department of 

 Zoology of the University of New Hampshire in 

 the summer of 1928. 



Location: Isles of Shoals, located about 10 miles 

 off Portsmouth. Laboratory proper Ls situated 

 on Appledore Island. 



Organization to which attached: University of New 

 Hampshire, Durham, N. H. 



Purposes: To offer facilities for minor biological 

 investigations to pre-medical students and under- 

 graduate zoology majors; to offer more advanced 

 work in the field of oceanography and marine 

 ecology to a few select students working for a 

 Master's degree. 



(Scope of activities: Chiefly along the following lines : 

 General invertebrate and vertebrate taxonomy 

 including minor problems and assigned topics for 

 investigation. Comparative anatomy, adapted 

 chiefly for pre-medical students with minor 

 problems assigned to more advanced students. 

 Research work in oceanography and marine 

 ecology. 



Equipment: Approximately twenty-five acres includ- 

 ing practically all of Appledore Island; 5 well-built 

 houses formerly connected with the Appledore 

 Hotel ; dining hall fully equipped and operated by 

 the University of New Hampshire; 1 30-foot 

 cabin cruiser; 1 28-foot speed boat; 4 dories; 

 nets, dredges, and other necessary equipment. 



Staff: Scientific: Director, Dean C. F. Jackson; 

 Director of Instruction, Dr. Norman K. Arnold; 

 Dr. C. D. Williams, Biological Education; Mr. 

 Robert Eadie, Anatomy; Miss Eleanor Sheehan, 

 Invertebrates; Miss Ruth E. Thompson; Addi- 

 tional laboratory assistants; Technical and cleri- 

 cal, 3; Maintenance and operation, 4. 



Provisions for visiting investigators: No special 

 provisions. Visitors are welcome at all times 

 and will be provided with such facilities as are 

 available. 



Income: Sources: Regular appropriations from the 

 University of New Hampshire. 



Amount: (Difficult to determine since this is 

 an integral part of the Zoology Department of 

 the University of New Hampshire.) For operat- 

 ing expenses, $3,000. 



Provision for publication of results: No special pro- 

 vision. Since the primary purpose is to instill 

 the spirit of research into undergraduates and 

 first year graduate students, no special avenue 

 for the publication of results has as yet been 

 provided.
