For 1882 there are also allotted to be published.:— 
VIL. R. Valiante, Cystoseire. 
IX. A. Andres, Attinie (parte 1ma.) 
Both these monographs are in the press, and will appear in a few 
months. The last named is illustrated with thirteen coloured plates. 
For 1883 the following are allotted, subject, possibly, to some little 
alteration :— 
W. Uljanin, Doliolwm. 
A, Andres, Attinie (parte 2da.) 
A. Lang, Polyclade@ (Planariz). 
P. Falkenberg, Rhodomelee. 
G. Berthold, Cryptonemiacee. 
The plates of several of these monographs are in the hands of the 
lithographer, and the printing of the text of Dr. Lang’s monograph has 
already commenced. This latter will appear before the close of the year. 
The number of monographs announced for following years has increased, 
and besides those previously mentioned there are in preparation mono- 
graphs on Radiolaria, Spongia, Siphonophora, Gorgoniidez, Amphictenide, 
Polygordius, Copepoda pelagica, Amphipoda. 
2. Of the ‘ Mittheilungen aus der Zoologischen Station’ there have 
been published vols. i.—iii., and vol. iv., parts i—iii.; part iv. is now in 
the press, and for vol. v. a series of works are announced. 
3. The ‘ Zoologischer Jahresbericht.’ The division of the ‘ Jahres- 
bericht’ into four sections, which was adopted in 1880, has been retained 
for the 1881 ‘Bericht,’ and the whole will occupy about the same bulk, 
—namely, over 1,200 pp. The number of referees engaged in the work 
has been augmented ; and Professor J. V. Carus, who edited the vols. for 
1879-80, has made over the editing of the second section (Arthropoda) 
to Dr. P. Mayer. The first three sections of the ‘ Bericht’ for 1883 are in 
the press, and will appear in the course of some months. The whole 
‘Bericht’ for 1883 will be edited by the zoological station. 
The Library.—The library, as in previous years, has been augmented 
by presentations from authors, from several publishers, and from a 
number of scientific institutions, as well as by numerous purchases. 
Furthermore, a great number of new journals have been procured on 
account of the ‘ Jahresbericht.’ 
The publication of a supplement to the library catalogue is deferred 
this year, as it will be desirable to issue a complete catalogue next year. 
The British Association Table-—During the past year the Association 
table has been used by Mr. J. T. Cunningham, whose occupancy extended 
over a term of six months, by special permission of your Committee. 
The report which Mr. Cunningham has furnished of his investigations is 
appended below. ‘The usual lists and detailed information courteously 
supplied hy the staff of the zoological station are also appended. 
Two applications for the use of the table during the coming year have 
been received by the Committee, and from both of the applicants work 
of an important character may be anticipated. 
With the present facts before them, and every assurance of the con- 
tinued utility of the Association table, and of the advantages afforded by 
it to British naturalists, your Committee strongly recommend the renewal 
of the grant.
