74 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY 



University laboratories or in the field have not been referred 

 to in this brief summary, and for details of the work done 

 reference must, of course, be made to the series of L.M.B.C. 

 Memoirs and to the other papers of the various investigators, 

 which are for the most part published elsewhere. 



Let me add my conviction that the history of the 

 Liverpool Marine Biology Committee has shown clearly the 

 advantage of " team-work " in this department of science. 

 No one man or even two or three men could undertake a 

 marine biological survey — still less its modern extension the 

 complete Oceanographic investigation of an area. It is only 

 by the co-operation of many minds and hands and by the 

 co-ordination of their varied activities that we can hope to 

 gain that adequate and well-proportioned knowledge of the 

 animals and the plants, and the effect upon them of their 

 physical environment, towards which we of the Liverpool 

 Committee hope that our work has made some contribution.
