at the Zoological Station at Naples. (Drawn up by the Chairman 
and Secretary. | 
‘HE British Association Table was occupied by Dr. Cresswell Shearer, F.R.S., 
from April 10 to June 21, 1923, and he has sent in a report as follows :— 
‘1 was engaged on the problem of the respiration of the growing parts of 
embryos. ‘The main result of my work was a confirmation (by direct manometer 
measurements) of Child’s work on the determination of oxidation-gradients of 
the embryo, by the susceptibility methods, using cyanide and other chemical 
agents. JI was able to carry the problem a step farther than Child, in that 
I was able to find the acetone powders of parts of the embryo still retained (in a 
reduced form) the different (respiratory) relationships they showed in the living 
embryo, in that an acetone powder of the embryo head had four to six times 
the oxidation-rate of a similar quantity of powder prepared from the trunk 
and tail region of the same embryo.’ 
We understand that Dr. R. Dohrn has been appointed Administrative Director 
of the Zoological Station, but we have as yet no details of the other changes 
involved. 
The Chairman and Secretary believe they are interpreting the wishes of the 
Committee in applying for reappointment of the Committee with a grant of 100/.
