334 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE, ETC. 



determination of the functional relationship between the intensity of the 

 stimulus and the intensity of the sensation as an aspect of our experience of 

 the stimulating object. At this point another objection must be urged 

 against Mr. Guild's argument. He appears to assume that it is our per- 

 ceptual experience of the object that we are attempting to correlate with the 

 intensity of the stimulus, whereas it is merely the sensation aspect of that 

 experience, abstracted from the experience as a whole. 



Conclusion. 



The Committee feels that the matter presented above is of great interest 

 and value to those whose task it is to make measurements, mental and 

 physical, and of importance sufficient to justify the Committee asking for 

 reappointment to consider whether the views put forward are, or are not, 

 irreconcilable. 



The Committee therefore asks to be reappointed for one year without 

 grant. 



PLYMOUTH LABORATORY. 



Report of the Committee appointed to nominate competent naturalists to 

 perforin definite pieces of work at the Marine Laboratory, Plymouth 

 (Dr. W. T. Calman, C.B., F.R.S., Chairman and Secretary ; Prof. H. 

 Graham Cannon, F.R.S., Prof. H. Munro Fox, F.R.S., Dr. J. S. 

 Huxley, F.R.S., Prof. H. G. Jackson, Prof. C. M. Yonge). 



The grant of £50 was paid over to the Marine Biological Association on 

 February 11, 1938. 



Miss M. J. Dibb, King's College, London, has been nominated to occupy 

 the Association's table at the Laboratory from July 12 to 29 ; she proposes 

 to work on Protozoa parasitic on Polychaetes. 



Dr. Margaret W. Jepps, Glasgow, will occupy the table from October i 

 to December 31, 1938, and will carry out research on the structure and life- 

 histories of Foraminifera. 



The Committee asks for reappointment, with renewal of the grant of 

 £50. 



ZOOLOGICAL RECORD. 



Report of the Committee appointed to co-operate with other Sections interested, 

 and with the Zoological Society, for the purpose of obtaining support 

 for the ' Zoological Record ' (Sir Sidney F. Harmer, K.B.E., F.R.S., 

 Chairman; Dr. W. T. Calman, C.B., F.R.S., Secretary; Prof. 

 E. S. Goodrich, F.R.S., Prof. D. M. S. Watson, F.R.S.). 



The grant of £50 was paid over to the Zoological Society on May 13, 

 1938, as a contribution towards the cost of preparing and publishing 

 Volume LXXni of the Zoological Record for 1936. 



The report of the Council of the Zoological Society for 1937 shows a 

 further depletion of the ' Record Reserve Fund ' due to excess of expenditure • 

 over receipts. The need for help from the contributing societies therefore 

 continues, if the publication is to be carried on. The Committee accord- 

 ingly asks for reappointment, with the renewal of the grant of £50.
