38-1 E. MITSUKUEI 



a curious ïetliys and other beautifully colored Nudibranchs, Patella, 

 &c. Cephalopoda are caught in abundance by fishermen. Crustaceans 

 are very largely, and worms fairly well, represented. Lingula is 

 found here as in almost every part of Japan. The inlet of Muroiso 

 is fairly choked with Ascidians, and their bright red egg-masses form 

 striking objects at the breeding season. Surface collection also 

 furnishes many interesting animals. Besides the usual number of 

 the Crustacean larvaa etc. we have caught Doliolum, Salpa, Ptero- 

 poda, Heteropoda, (Atlanta, Pterotrachea) Actinotrocha, Tornaria, 

 Siphonophora, Pilidium, Loven's larva etc. Physalia and Charybdea 

 are also found. The Kuro-shio (Kuro-siwo) which passes off the 

 coast of Japan has no doubt some influence on the surface fauna 

 of this part. 



Arrangements will be made by which students in the biological 

 course of the University will be required to pass at least one term in 

 this station. 



Credit is due to Messrs Kojima and Yamaguchi, Architects of 

 the Educational Department for designing the building. My col- 

 league Prof. I. Ijima has also furnished many ideas in regard to 

 the building and its internal fittings. Thanks are due to Dr. Anton 

 Dohrn of Naples for kindly examining the plan of the station and 

 for making several useful suggestions.
