MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 69 



Occasional collecting expeditions are arranged under 

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

 graduate 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 in the living 

 state, 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. 



Students requiring any apparatus, glass-ware or chemicals 

 from the store-room must apply to the Curator. Although the 

 Committee keep a few microscopes at the Biological Station, 

 these are mainly required for the use of the staff or for general 

 demonstration purposes. Students are therefore strongly 

 advised, especially during University vacations, not to rely 

 upon being able to obtain a suitable microscope, but ought if 

 possible to bring their own instruments. 



Students are advised to provide themselves upon arrival 

 with the " Guide to the Aquarium " (price 3d.), and should each 

 also buy a copy of the set of Local Maps (price 2d.) upon which 

 to insert their faunistic records and other notes. 



Occasional evening meetings in the Biological Station for 

 lecture and demonstration purposes will be arranged from time 

 to time. Apart from these, it is generally not advisable that 

 students should come back to work in the laboratory in the 

 evening ; and in all cases all lights will be put out and doors 

 locked at 10 p.m. When the institution is closed, the key can 

 be obtained, by those who have a valid reason for entering the 

 building, only on personal application to Mr. Chadwick, the 

 Curator, at 3, Rowany Terrace.
