Krümmel, Kyle, Masterman, Ostenfeld, Paulsen, Pettersson, Redeke, D'Arcy Thompson, Witting. 



The progress of the new scheme of plankton investigations was discussed, 

 a representative from each country stating how far the investigations were advanced. 

 With exception of Norway and Russia progress could be reported by all the 

 countries; Scotland and Belgium had not yet been able to carry out the full pro- 

 gramme as planned at the 1909 Meeting, whilst on the other hand Finland, Den- 

 mark, Germany, Holland and England had collected a large material. 



Vol. I of the Plankton Summary was laid before the Meeting as also a list 

 of the material prepared for Vol. II. It was agreed that Vol. II should be published 

 in the same form and manner as Vol. I and that the Council should be asked for 

 an additional sum for printing expenses, in order that the printing of the special 

 reports on the plankton species might be completed next year. Two special reasons 

 were stated for this recommendation, firstly in order that the general reporter to 

 be appointnd next year might have at his disposal as much as possible of the 

 published material and secondly, on financial grounds that it was advisable to 

 publish as much as possible this year since the new Plankton Bulletin would come 

 on the budget for next year.
