There are two important functions which a biological 
station like ours may be expected to perform. The first 1s 
to afford opportunity to the younger biologists and students 
of the neighbourhood of making themselves acquainted 
with marine animals and plants, alive and in their natural 
conditions, and of learning how to investigate a fauna, and 
how to conduct research work in general. Looked at 
from this point of view, although the Puffin Island Station 
has been fairly successful during the past year, there 1s room 
for considerable improvement. We have hada few students 
from University College, Liverpool, a couple from the 
Owens College, Manchester, a couple from the North Wales 
College at Bangor, and one from the Grosvenor Museum, 
Chester; but still, during a considerable part of the fine 
weather of summer, the best time of the year for work at 
such an institution, there was frequently accommodation for
