In addition to these workers, the Station has been 



visited during the year by several travellers interested 



in Natural Science and Education, by various groups

members of scientific societies. 



We have been endeavouring for some years to bring 



the Aquarium and Museum more closely into connection 



with the educational system of the Island, and I am 



glad to say that a beginning has now been made. Mr. 



Ashton, the Headmaster of the Secondary School, sends 



eighteen of his boys every Wednesday afternoon for a 



lecture and practical demonstration, from our Curator, 



lasting from 2-30 to 4 o'clock. Mr. Chadwick writes to 



me after the first of these : — " I began with a lesson on 



the Protozoa, and after a short lecture, with plenty of 



black-board sketches, I got out a couple of microscopes 



and showed the boys an Amoeba and a number of 



Foraminifera and Radiolaria. They all bring notebooks, 



and Mr. Ashton requires them to write out, afterwards, 



an account of each lesson. Next week I shall take 



animal cells, so that they may understand something 



of the structure of the various animal tissues. Then I 



shall take each group of Invertebrates in ascending 



order." 



This ought to do good to the boys and help the 



school. It is a small beginning in that general intro-
