1912] Ritter: The Marine Biological Station of San Diego 165 
E. FUNDS AND GENERAL RESOURCES 
It is not proposed to deal with the finances after the manner 
of a treasurer’s report. Rather the aim is to give an outline of 
the station’s business career in such fashion as to make this tell 
as much as possible about the progress and policies of the enter- 
prise. Likewise as to general resources, in some cases only esti- 
mated values are given and in a few none at all, even though 
it seems desirable that the articles themselves should be men- 
tioned. It is particularly difficult to treat the library on a 
strictly financial basis. 
The headings under which a presentation having such an end 
in view may best be made are: (1) Sources from which funds 
and apphances have come; (2) The main items of expenditure; 
(3) The present valuation of the station’s holdings; (4) The 
present income.
