FISHERY INVESTIGATIONS 341 



no Scottish University had established one ; yet, added 

 the eminent authority referred to, ' there are few sites in 

 this or any other country . . . better adapted, on the whole, 

 for a combined zoological station and laboratory than 

 St Andrews. The proximity of the city to the sea, its 

 quietude so conducive to study and the valuable library 

 and museum of the University, on the one hand ; and on the 

 other the fine stretch of sand on which so many rare specimens 

 are thrown by storms, sufficiently demonstrate the position.' 

 The important fisheries' work accomplished, and the splendid 

 record of biological work done, have amply justified the 

 claim to the supremacy of St Andrews in marine research.
