HON. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. 



The list of Subscribers and Balance Sheet fcr 1906 is 

 shown in the few pages following. The latter shows a 

 small balance due to the Treasurer. 



The New Biological Station has been in full occupa- 

 tion for some years, and the working expenses are 

 considerably greater than in the days of the less 

 commodious building : also there is greater scope now for 

 the Committee to open up further fields of useful work, and 

 this is being done on a larger scale each year. There is, 

 therefore, a greater necessity for increased support either 

 by annual subscriptions or by special donations. 



A welcome donation of fifty pounds has been received 

 from Sir John Brunner to the special fund for publishing 

 the Marine Biological Memoirs. Fourteen Memoirs with 

 excellent plates have already been published ; several new 

 ones are ready for printing ; and further contributions for 

 this object will be gladly received, in order that there may 

 be as little delay as possible in their publication. 



There is a useful library at the Port Erin Biological 

 Station for the use of students and other workers, but it 

 is urgently in need of many standard Biological Works. 

 Further donations towards the library, either in books or 

 money, will be most welcome. 



The Treasurer will gladly receive the names of new 

 subscribers with the view of continuing the publications 

 on the local Fauna and on typical British marine animals 

 and plants, and of aiding to defray the necessary working 

 expenses of the Biological Station at Port Erin.
