ja LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
done on the shore, or out in the boat in the short, cold 
winter days, it seemed wise to economise time, money and 
energy by shutting up the laboratory from October till 
April. Consequently, the boats have been placed in safety 
in the Menai Straits, the apparatus and specimens have 
been brought up to University College, the curator has 
obtained a situation for the winter in Liverpool, and the 
station has been securely locked up. It is proposed to 
re-open the establishment at the beginning of either April 
or May, according to the weather and the wishes of our 
workers, and I have no doubt that next summer all the 
various lines of investigation now started will be followed 
up with a renewed enthusiasm which will more than make 
up for the loss of the winter observations. 
A catalogue of the land plants which have been recorded, 
the usual list of subscribers to the L.M.B.C. funds and the 
Hon. Treasurer’s balance sheet for the year are appended.
