TIE WORK OF THE JERSEY BIOLOGICAL STATION 



DURING 1895. 



In most respects progress has been extremely gratifying this 

 season, and the number of workers using the Laboratory has in- 

 creased to an extent beyond anticipation. To meet the consequent 

 need for greater accommodation, the room used as a type Museum, 

 has been altered in such manner that while still available for the 

 original purpose, the addition of a laboratory table, with shelving, 

 gas and water supplies, sinks, &c, enables it to be used as a first- 

 class and roomy Research Laboratory. 



The list of workers, who, during the past summer, have testified 



by their presence to the value of the Station from the purely 



scientific standpoint, comprises the following, arranged according to 



the respective dates of laboratory occupancy : — 



Mr. — . Bowden, St. Bartholomew's Hospital. — General. 



Mr. — . Peaece, St. Bartholomew's Hospital. — General. 



Mr. Hy. Schebben, London. — Amphipods. 



Prof. Heedman, Liverpool. — Oyster -cultivation and Tunicata. 



Mr. A. Edmunds, King's College, London. — General. 



Mr. Hy. Hanna, Queen's College, Belfast. — Methods of preservation of Marine Animals. 



Mr. R. Aenott Staig, New School of Medicine, Edinburgh. — Laboratory methods. 



Mr. E. T. Melloe, Owen's College, Manchester. — General. 



Mr. J. H. Ashwoeth, Owen's College, Manchester. — General. 



Prof. Maisoknenue, Angers. — General. 



Dr. W. B. Benham, Oxford. — Nervous system of Polychceta. 



Mr. J. C. Stogdon, Budleigh Salterton. — General. 



Mr. H. C. E, Zachaeias, Berlin Universitj'. — Rotifers and habits of Marine Animals. 



Dr. J. Justus Andeee, Paris.— Extirpation of organs in Fishes. 



Mr. H. Fleuee, Guernsey. — General. 



Few of these have occupied tables for less than a month each, 

 and while all have expressed themselves highly satisfied with the 

 arrangements for work, one, Mr. H. C E. Zacharias, has been so 

 greatly impressed with the richness of the littoral and the facilities 

 for research, that he has arranged to occupy a table permanently, 

 with the view of continuing his investigations of the habits of marine 

 animals. As Research Assistant, he will also devote a considerable 

 portion of his time to morphological research upon some of the rarer 

 representatives of our Fauna. 



Many other Biologists, including a number of French and Swiss, 

 have also paid flying visits to the Station during the summer, and it 

 is gratifying that there has been great unanimity in their praise of 

 the practical and useful arrangement of the Station. From the 

 promises to return to work in the Laboratory at a future date, a 

 busy summer is augured for the coming year. 



As regards the supply department, the present year has been 

 one of transition. The arrangements I made last spring did not 

 fulfil my expectations, and in consequence, I have been compelled
