MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 



Memoranda for Students and Others working at the 

 Port Erin Biological Station. 



Post-graduate students and others carrying on 

 research will be accommodated in the small work-rooms 

 of the ground! floor laboratory and in those on the upper 

 floor of the new research wing. Some of these little 

 rooms have space for two persons who are working 

 together, but researchers who require more space for 

 apparatus or experiments will, so far as the accommoda- 

 tion allows, be given rooms to themselves. 



Undergraduate students working as members of a 

 class will occupy the large laboratory on the upper floor 

 or the front museum gallery, and it is very desirable that 

 these students should keep to regular hours of work. As 

 a rule, it is not expected that they should devote the 

 whole of each day to work in the laboratory, but should 

 rather, when tides are suitable, spend a portion at least 

 of either forenoon or afternoon on the sea-shore collecting 

 and observing. 



Occasional collecting expeditions are arranged under 

 guidance either on the sea-shore or out at sea, and all 

 undergraduate workers should make a point of taking 

 part in these. 



It is desirable that students should also occasionally 

 take plankton gatherings in the bay for examination 

 while living, and boats are provided for this purpose at 

 the expense of the Biological Station to a reasonable 

 extent. Students desiring to obtain a boat for such a 

 purpose must apply to the Curator at the Laboratory for 

 a boat voucher. Boats for pleasure trips are not supplied 

 by the Biological Station, but must be provided by those 

 who desire them at their own expense.
