Annual Report of _ sa Marine Biology Committee and 
their Biological Sta’ t Port Erin, Isle of Man. By W. A. 
HERDMAN, D.Sc., ‘a 
A very interesting account is giver in this report of the opening 
of the new station of this energetic Committee; and the initial 
work that has been there done gives good au of an enlarged 
sphere of well-applied usefulness. The station is admirably situated 
for marine biological work, and might be very advantageously 
is 
hate chery. Details of several dredging expeditions are given in the 
report with very satisfactory results, and there is a long list of 
workers who have used the station during the year. The Committee 
proposes to establish a marine aquarium, and to engage the services 
of a resident curator to devote’ some attention to the preservation of 
marine specimens for museum and laboratory purposes. Many 
museums will no doubt be glad of the opportunity thus offered of 
obtaining desirable objects for their collections, and they would do — 
well to make their wants known to Prof. Herdman. It is satisfactory _ 
to know that the Puffin Island Station previously occupied by this _ 
- Committee will still be continued, it having a taken by the oS
