34 Professor Gregg Wilson on Recent Fishery Research. 



ment, on the Western-Southern Coasts there were absolutely 

 no scientific investigations being conducted in any part of 

 Ireland with regard to that question. Tn connection with that 

 Society something might be done on the North-East Coast. 

 There was no difficulty in getting a suitable site for starting 

 a modest modern laboiatory. Professor Wilson spoke to them 

 that evening as an expert, and he was sure he would be only 

 too anxious and willing to assist any of them that wished to 

 take up that department of the work. 



Rev. D. A. Purves, in seconding the motion, as an outsider, 

 was sure that in Professor Gregg Wilson not only Queen's 

 College, but the city of Belfast, had received a great acquisition. 

 While he had given them a scientific lecture, they would 

 all agree that he had been perfectly lucid. He concurred 

 with the suggestion that had been thrown out that the services 

 of a man like Professor Gregg Wilson should be in some way 

 secured to that neighbourhood, and he did trust that the out- 

 come of that meeting would be that steps would be taken to 

 instal a modern laboratory in the region of Belfast. 



The motion was carried and suitably conveyed by the 

 Chairman, who referred to the time when many of the most 

 eminent naturalists of Great Britain belonged to the North of 

 Ireland. 



A similar compliment was paid to Professor Redfern, on the 

 motion of Mr. .]. J. Andrews, seconded by Mr. William Shaw.
