Little Galley Bay, Johnson’s Island, and Windward Bay. 
Tnese collections revealed that there is a wide range in size 
shape, and color of the species, deserving further study. * 
My schedule is hectic due to its diversity — for I am unable 
to work more than the usual number of hours a day. I have a class 
of 9 in m.arine biology, three graduate research advisees, four 
interstate committees and I was reelected Secretary of the Middle 
■^^L^ntic Section, Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, and 
two state reports to work on this fall. Earlier I sent off a mC- 
on Xiphosura for the McGraw-Hill encyclopedia. This week 
the Governor has called a meeting concerning heavy mortalities on 
our oyster beds, which probably means another report. On Friday 
and Saturday the Atlantic Estuarine Research Society meets at Lewes. 
The diversion makes life interesting but slows down my output on 
any one item.
