THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT of the LIVER- 
POOL MARINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE and 
their BIOLOGICAL STATION at PORT ERIN. 
By Professor W. A. HERDMAN, D.Sc., F.B.S. 
THE past year has been notable in several respects. In 
the amount and quality of the students’ work at the 
Biological Station it is, I consider, the best year we have 
ever had; several new lines of investigation have been 
started; a new set of publications—the L.M.B.C. Memoirs 
—has been successfully launched, and we have renewed 
our tenancy of the buildings at; Port Erin under new 
landlords. All these and other matters will be dealt with 
in order in the following pages. -We may begin, as usual, 
with the formal statistics as to the occupation of the work 
tables at the Laboratory, and then pass to the Curatoyr’s 
report upon the events of the year at Port Erin. Work 
at Liverpool, the publications of the Committee, and wider 
considerations, such as the result of the Stockholm Con- 
ference on Marine Exploration, will close the Report. 
THE STATION RECORD. 
During the past year the following naturalists have 
worked at the Biological Station, in addition to the 
Curator (Mr. H. C. Chadwick) who has been in constant
