MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 13 



the Bermuda Natural History Society secured control of an island 

 in Hamilton Harbor formerly used by the British government 

 for the storage of munitions of war. The island is some three 

 acres in extent, and has about a dozen substantial buildings. 

 These have been converted into a public aquarium, labora- 

 tories for biological work, and quarters for lodging. Professor 

 Mark was invited to take charge of the Station for Research. 

 The session extended from June 21 to August 7. Fourteen 

 persons were enrolled, eight of whom were or are connected witli 

 Harvard IJniversitv. One of the fourteen enrolled was Professor 

 Fisk of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie 

 Institution of Washington, who was detailed by the Director, Dr. 

 L. A. Bauer, to continue and supplement the magnetic survey 

 made in 1905 by Mr. John L. Cole, an account of which was given 

 in my report for the year 1904-1905. Professor Fisk's work was 

 directed chiefly to determining the dip and intensity of magnetic 

 attraction at a number of important stations. As Professor 

 Mark was unable to sail for Bermuda before July, Dr. Rand was 

 in charge of the Station from June 21 to July 5. 



Five persons received aid from the Humboldt fund to the 

 amount of $295.70 in the summer of 1907, while working at the 

 Bermuda Station. 



The Carnegie Institution of Washington made a grant of 

 $300 to Professor Mark to aid in carrying on certain embryo- 

 logical investigations which required an unusual outlay for 

 material. 



The Zoological Club held regular meetings on the afternoons 

 of Fridays, at which twenty-one original papers were presented 

 and about thirty other pages were reviewed. The subjects to be 

 presented were, as usual, announced in advance in the calendar 

 of the University Gazette.
