THE 



MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT POET ERIN, 



BEING THE 



NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 



OF THE 



LIVERPOOL MARINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE. 



On account of my absence in South Africa during a 

 considerable portion of the summer, Mr. Chadwick had 

 entire charge of L.M.B.C. affairs at the Biological Station 

 in the long vacation, and, consequently, has had more 

 part than usual in the preparation of this Annual Report. 

 The sections entitled " The Station Record " and " The 

 Aquarium " are practically his work, and, as a result of 

 this arrangement, the usual " Curator's Report " is 

 omitted on the present occasion. 



On the completion of the new buildings for Zoology 

 in the University of Liverpool, certain additions were 

 made to the staif of the department, and amongst these 

 appointments was that of our Curator, Mr. Chadwick, as 

 Honorary Lecturer in Marine Biology. This is a 

 welcome recognition of the close connection between the 

 Biological Station and the University Laboratory, and of 

 the services which Mr. Chadwick has rendered to the 

 Liverpool students and to biological education in general. 

 There are no obligations to teach in Liverpool connected 

 with the appointment except such assistance as Mr. 

 Chadwick may find he can give from time to time without 

 in any way interfering with his duties at Port Erin. I 

 have to thank Mr. Chadwick for a few days' very efficient 

 help in preparing the Museum of the Zoological depart-
