12 TRANSACTIONS LIVERPOOL BIOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Robert Okell, F.L.S., was a constant visitor and 

 worker throughout the year in his official capacity as 

 Secretary to the Fishery Board. We have had many other 

 distinguished visitors, including his Excellency Lord 

 Raglan, the present Governor, and Sir West Ridgeway, a 

 former Governor of the island, Sir Alan Perry, the Bishop 

 of Liverpool, various scientific men, such as Prof. Lyman 

 Clark, Dr. Gustav Eisen and Mr. Edgar Thurston ; and, 

 finally, various public bodies, which are mentioned in 

 the Report of the Curator. The Isle of Man Xatural 

 History Society continues to take a deep interest in our 

 work, and during September the members held a well- 

 attended meeting in the Institution. The Society has not 

 had a representative doing continuous work in the 

 Biological Station since Mr. Walter Teare left the island 

 last year, but several of their members, such as Mr. 

 Kermode and Mr. Okell, have been frequent visitors; and 

 the Society has recently appointed Mr. Richard Lace, of 

 Santon, to occupy their work table when he is able to do so. 

 The Acting Treasurer, Mr. E. Thompson, came on business. 

 Mr. Kewley, Science Master at King William's College, 

 has visited the Aquarium, Museum, and Laboratories with 

 a large number of boys, and will, we hope, continue to 

 make use of the Institution in this way for educational 

 purposes. 



Many of our University Students have supplemented 

 their biological work in the Laboratory with occasional 

 days devoted to Geology and Archaeology on the hills. On 

 some of these occasions we have had the advantage of 

 being accompanied by Mr. Lomas as our leader amongst 

 the rocks, and by Mr. Kermode when examining the pre- 

 historic antiquities. From time to time I have been 

 enabled to take part with Mr. Kermode in the examina- 

 tion or exploration of some of the early Manx remains.
