SCIENCE 



715 



subjects of research may be rather arbitrarily 

 classified as follows : 



General physiology, reactions to stimuli and 



behavior 11 



Taxonomy 7 



Pavinal distribution (including survey work) 6 



Anatomy and histology 4 



Regeneration 3 



Embryology (including maturation of the egg) 3 



Parasites of fishes 2 



Economic, in narrower sense (not including 



the last) 2 



Miscellaneous 5 



Total 43 



It must here be borne in mind that some 

 investigators were concerned with more than 

 one subject of research; likewise that in a few 

 instances one subject of research has been in- 

 cluded under two heads. 



Mention may be appropriately made here of 

 the visit of Sir Frederick Nicholson, of Mad- 

 ras, who was engaged in an investigation of 

 American fisheries methods on behalf of the 

 government of India, and who was the guest 

 of the laboratory for several days.
