subscription of two guineas will secure a work place for 

 six weeks in the year, a subscription of five guineas for 

 four months, and a subscription of ^10 for the whole year. 



VI. — Each worker* is entitled to a work place opposite 

 a window in the Laboratory, and may make use of the 

 microscopes, reagents, and other apparatus, and of the 

 boats, dredges, tow-nets, &c, so far as is compatible with 

 the claims of other workers and with the routine work of 

 the Station. 



VII. — Each worker will be allowed to use one pint of 

 methylated spirit per week, free. Any further amount 

 required must be paid for. All dishes, jars, bottles, tubes, 

 and other glass may be used freely, but must not be taken 

 away from the laboratory. If any workers desire to 

 make, preserve, and take away collections of marine 

 animals and plants, they must make special arrangements 

 with the Director or Treasurer in regard to bottles and 

 preservatives. Although workers in the Station are free 

 to make their own collections at Port Erin, it must be 

 clearly understood that (as in other Biological Stations) 

 no specimens must be taken for such purposes from the 

 laboratory stock, nor from the Aquarium tanks, nor from 

 the steam-boat dredging expeditions, as these specimens 

 are the property of the Committee. The specimens in 

 the Laboratory stock are preserved for sale, the animals 

 in the tanks are for the instruction of visitors to the 

 Aquarium, and as all the expenses of steam-boat dredging 

 expeditions are defrayed by the Committee the specimens 

 obtained on these occasions must be retained by the 

 Committee (a) for the use of the specialists working at 

 the Eauna of Liverpool Bay, (b) to replenish the tanks, 



* Workers at tlie Station can always find comfortable and convenient 

 quarters at the closely adjacent Belle vue Hotel ; but lodgings can readily be 

 had by those who prefer them.
