Appendix B. 



HON. TREASURER'S STATEMENT. 



The list of Subscribers and Balance Sheet for 1907 is 

 herewith appended. The latter shows a small balance due 

 to the Treasurer, which indicates the necessity there is for 

 additional support, as expenses during" the past few years 

 have necessarily increased now that the work of the Port 

 Erin Biological Station has been so materially enlarged. 



The L.M.B.C. Memoirs have proved of the greatest 

 service, both to the senior students in University 

 Laboratories and to investigators in Biological Stations. 

 They have been much appreciated by scientific men, both 

 in this country and America, and are very favourably 

 reviewed in Nature and other papers. These Memoirs are 

 illustrated by lithographic plates, and are necessarily 

 expensive to produce, and, as they are sold at a very low 

 price, the receipts as yet do not cover the cost of 

 production. 



During the past year, Memoirs No. XIV., tk Ligia " 

 (a Shore Crustacean), and No. XV., " Antedon " (the 

 Rosy-Feather-Star), were published, and the MSS. for 

 several more are in preparation, two, in fact, being already 

 completed and ready to print. 



Welcome donations of £30 from Mrs. Holt and 



Miss Holt, and £20 from Mr. T. Sutton Timmis, have just 



been received towards the plates of the forthcoming 



Memoirs on 44 Pecten " (the scallop), and " Cancer " (the 



edible crab). 



Further Memoirs will be published as funds permit, 



and the Treasurer will gladly receive donations for this 



purpose, or for the necessary working expenses of the 



Biological Station at Port Erin.

Hon. Treasurer.
