Annual Reports recorded the work at the Puffin Island 

 Station, and the next series of ten (ending with the 

 present Report) dealt with the first Port Erin Laboratory. 

 It is hoped that next year's Report, the first of a new 

 series recording increased space, staff, facilities and 

 responsibilities, will also record an increase of workers 

 and of work in the new combined Biological Station, 

 Aquarium and Fish Hatchery. 



During the past year the usual work, both educational 

 and in research, lias been carried on steadily. A party of 

 students and investigators occupied the Laboratory in the 

 Easter vacation, and several collecting excursions were 

 arranged for their benefit. The new University of 

 Birmingham lias, we are glad to report, engaged a work 

 place permanently in the Laboratory, at an annual rent ; 

 and two students from the Zoological Department have 

 already been sent by Professor Bridge to carry on work. 

 Three Universities have now engaged work places in this 

 manner for the benefit of their Biological staffs, and in 

 the new Station we shall be able to offer increased space 

 and facilities to any other teaching or other institutions 

 (such as Museums) which desire to take advantage of the 

 opportunities for marine biological work which we can 

 afford. 



We publish now, as an Appendix to this Report, the 

 " Guide to the Aquarium," which has been in preparation 

 for some time. It will also be printed separately for use 

 in the new Aquarium.
