30 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



The increase in number both of those working at the 

 Biological Station, and of those visiting the Aquarium, is 

 remarkable. Last year (1919) we had 60 laboratory workers 

 and over 23,000 visitors ; this year, there were about 100 

 researchers and senior students, and nearly 36,000 visitors to 

 the Aquarium. From Liverpool University we had Professors 

 Dakin, Johnstone, Ramsden, Harvey-Gibson, and Herdman, 

 Mrs. Bisbee, Mr. Burfield, Miss Knight, Miss Fry, and others ; 

 from Oxford, Professor B. Moore, Mr. E. Whitley, and their 

 assistants ; from Birmingham, Professor Gamble and students ; 

 from Manchester, Dr. and Mrs. Tattersall and students ; 

 from Reading, Professor Cole, Miss Eales, and a party of 

 students ; from Aberystwyth, Mr. Douglas Laurie and 

 students ; from Nottingham, Miss Bexon and students ; 

 Professor Stephenson from Lahore ; and from Cambridge, 

 Mr. H. H. Thomas, and a party of senior students from 

 Xewnham College. 



The work of the staff at the Biological Station has been

 the bay have been made throughout the year. 



As on previous occasions the statistics as to the use made 

 of the institution throughout the year will be given in the 

 form of a " Curator's Report " (see below).

 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 p. 31).
