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 

 accommodation 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 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
