180 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1888 



Albatross ; Mr. B. F. Koons, of the Storrs Agricultural School; Mr. J. 

 H. Blake, of Cambridge, as artist; Mr Peter Parker, Mr. A. H. Baldwin, 

 and Miss M. J. Rathbun, of Washington ; and Miss K. J. Bush and 

 Miss C. E. Bush, assistants of Professor Verrill. The aquaria which 

 were made an important and valuable feature of the laboratory, were 

 under the management of Mr. William P. Seal. Tables in the labora- 

 tory were also occupied by Dr. Osier, of Philadelphia, Mr. Sho Watase, 

 of Johns Hopkins University, and Mr. Miyabe, of Harvard University. 

 Mr. Yinal N. Edwards assisted in procuring specimens for the use of 

 the scientific party during the summer, and continued his collecting 

 through the remainder of the year, securing valuable materials in those 

 seasons when the station is seldom visited by the professional naturalist. 

 In addition to the explorations made by the steamers a great deal of 

 seining for shore fishes was done in the vicinity of the station under 

 the direction of Mr. Thomas Lee.
