Report on the. work of the Biological Section during 

 the year 1910—1911. 



1. The papers sent in by the reporters on the biological work of the previous 

 year were published. 



2. Vol. V of the Statistical Bulletin, for the year 1908 (containing a 5 years' 

 summary of the North Sea statistics), was prepared by this Department and 

 published. 



3. The preparatory work for the plankton reports was continued during the year 

 under review and considerable progress was made with the printing af Vol. 



II of the „Résumé des observations sur le plankton des mers explorées par le 

 conseil pendant les années 1902 — 1908." 



This volume of the „Résumé" contains the special reports on the 

 Copepoda (Concluding portion; with 65 species and 11 plates); Tunicata (16 

 species and 1 plate), Ostracoda (5 species), Ghaetognatha (4 species and 1 

 plate), Amphipoda (15 species and 1 plate), Rotatoria (6 species and 1 plate) 

 and Geratia (20 species and 11 plates). 



The reports on the Diatoms (about 75 species) and remaining Peridi- 

 niales (19 species) have not yet been completed, but will also be included in 

 this volume, and perhaps also the reports on the Schizopoda, Acantharia and 

 some of the Coelenterata. 



Vols. I and II, containingjtogether the special reports on over 270 spe- 

 cies of the plankton, will thus form a wide basis for the preparation of Part 



III of the „Résumé," the General Summary of the international plankton work 

 during the years 1902—1908. 



4. „Publications de circonstance" Nos. 57, 58 and 59 were also seen through 

 the press during the year.
