Report on the work of the Plankton Department of the Bureau 

 during the year 1913—14. 



1. The main work has been the finishing of the printing of the Part III of 

 the "Resume planktonique". The three last papers of this part, viz. P. L. 

 Kramp: Goelenterata ; P. L. Kramp: Schizopoda and G. Gilson: Sympoda (Cuma- 

 cea), have been printed during this year. Part III, which consists of pp. 251 — 600 

 and plates 38 — 105, makes the treatment of the separate groups of plankton orga- 

 nisms complete. A General Summary of the plankton investigations of the years 

 1902 — 1908 is, however, still required, before the whole "Resume planktonique" 

 may be said to have been completed. 



2. The second part (2. partie) of the "Bulletin planktonique pour les 

 années 1908 — 11" containing the "listes planktoniques des recherches quantita- 

 tives pour les années 1910 — 11", has been published in May 1914. 



3. The printing of the "Bulletin planktonique pour l'année 1912" has 

 begun; it contains the report of the plankton investigations carried out by the 

 different countries during the spring of 1912 and has been worked out by Professor 

 H. H. Gran, assisted, as regards the Scottish investigations, by Miss Ogilvie. This 

 important memoir has the title: "The Plankton production of the North European 

 Waters in the spring of 1912". 



4. The Department has begun the preparing of an alphabetical index 

 to the 3 published parts of the "Resume planktonique". 



5. In May 1914 the Department has sent out to the participating countries 

 the following circular: 



"During the time the International Investigations of the Sea have been in 

 operation, it has several times been found difficult to have the resolutions of the 

 International Council concerning Plankton investigations carried out in all the 

 participating countries; and one of the reasons has, no doubt, been the lack of 

 specialists who could undertake the examination of the plankton samples collected. 



In order to remedy, if possible, this difficulty, the Plankton Department of 

 the Bureau begs to bring forward the following proposition.
