26 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
of the institution throughout the year will be given in the 
form of a “ Curator’s Report” (see below); and after that I 
have added, as an Appendix, some portions of an unpublished 
address given a few years ago in the Isle of Man, in the hope 
that it may be of interest to our students of Natural History 
at Liverpool and Port Erin. 
It may be useful to those proposing to work at the 
Biological Station that the ground plan of the buildings, 
showing the laboratory and other accommodation, should 
be inserted in this Report as on previous occasions (see fig. 1, 
p27). 
CURATOR’S REPORT. 
Mr. Chadwick reports to me as follows on the various 
departments of the work at the Station during 1918 :— 
Station Record. 
‘“‘ Sixteen workers—a smaller number than in 1917— 
occupied our laboratories during the past year. Ten of these 
were undergraduates of the University of Liverpool, who 
undertook the Easter vacation course of instruction given by 
Professor Herdman and Miss R. C. Bamber, and one was a 
student from Newnham, Cambridge; Miss C. Mayne, Edward 
Forbes Exhibitioner for the year 1918, devoted herself during 
the Easter vacation to a study of the animal ecology of Port 
Erin Bay; . Professor Newstead opened up a_ practically 
unworked field in the Isle of Man by collecting and identifying 
Seale-insects (Coccide), and on and within a few yards of 
the Station premises found several noteworthy species; while 
Professor Moore carried on a research on the accumulations 
of nitrites and nitrates in the sea in spring and autumn.
