AT THE ZOOLOGICAL STATION AT NAPLES. 



477 



Station has for a student of zoology, and especially for one who like 

 myself had just finished his University course. Although original research 

 is doubtless the main object of most who go to Naples, still it is impossible 

 to over-estimate the value of the knowledge gained" by seeing and becoming 

 acquainted with the rich fauna of the bay. Personally speaking, to observe 

 alive so many forms only seen before in drawings, or at most as preserved 

 specimens, has been a source of keen enjoyment. Further, the intercourse 

 with men of other nationalities, and of other ideas and methods, cannot 

 but have a beneficial effect on those who stay for any length of time. 

 For these privileges my sincere thanks are due to the Committee of the 

 British Association.
