" L.M.B.C. Memoirs." 



Although the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee has 

 now been dissolved, it is thought well to retain the former 

 title for this series of publications. They have become well- 

 known in laboratories and are referred to in literature as 

 the " L.M.B.C. Memoirs," and it would only lead to confusion 

 to change the title, although they are no longer published 

 by a Committee but by the Oceanography department of the 

 University. 



Since our last report was published, no further Memoirs 



have been issued to the public. Him anth alia, by Miss L. G. 



Nash, M.Sc, is ready to print ; Miss E. L. Gleave, M.Sc, has 



nearly completed her Memoir on Doris, the Sea-lemon ; 



Mr. Burfield, is writing the Memoir on Sagitta ; Mrs. Bisbee 



has made further progress with Tubularia, and still other 



Memoirs are in preparation.
