ANTON DOHBN^ 

 To speak of Anton Dohrn before zoolo- 

 gists is both easy and difficult. Many, per- 

 haps the greater number, of you have 

 known him personally, some longer and 

 better than I ; and all know his work. Of 

 his aims and their attainment he has left 

 us his own graphic recital full of personal 

 charm ; and others have paid tribute to his 

 achievements in a manner so incomparable 

 that I can not hope to bring to you any- 

 thing new. But I have been encouraged in 

 this undertaking by the thought that I do 

 not first need to arouse in you sympathy 

 for his personality. What I have to say 

 will awaken in most of you an answering 

 chord, recalling so many varied reminis-

 even though my words fail in their expres- 

 sion. So bring back to your mind the 

 image of the beautiful white building with 

 its red loggias, against the dark back- 

 ground of green ilex; picture this building 

 as it stands on the shore of the Bay of 

 Naples. Upon the facade zoologists read 

 with pride the words "Stazione Zoologiea," 

 telling each one that here stands a temple 

 of science symbolizing their aims and ambi- 

 tions. More than two thousand square 

 meters are covered by this building con- 

 taining more than 150 rooms, in which fifty 

 persons, officials, technicians, artists, fisher- 

 men and laboratory servants are continu- 

 ously engaged in work. At Easter time the 

 visitor to the station will find there as many
