1260 Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. 
located at the southwest corner of Port Erin bay, Isle of Man. 
It stands at the base of a cliff on the side of which are the two 
large tanks which supply the hatchery and aquaria with water. 
The building consists of three parts. The central one is occu¬ 
pied by the aquarium which has several large, well lighted con¬ 
crete tanks arranged along three of the walls, with smaller tanks 
in the center of the room. A gallery around this room contains 
a number of museum cases in which specimens of the local 
fauna and flora are exhibited. 
On the ground floor of the east wing, there are six small work 
rooms on one side, which may be rented for 10 shillings a week 
each, and on the other side are the library, dark room, store 
room, and a general work room. The second floor of this wing 
consists of a large laboratory which is used as a general class 
room for students. The fish hatchery occupies the ground 
floor of the west wing and above this is a large room in which 
various types of fishing and scientific apparatus are exhibited. 
The ponds in which plaice are kept for breeding purposes are 
located just west of the building. 
The private steam yacht of the director is used for dredging 
and plankton work. There is a rich fauna and flora in the 
immediate neighborhood, and, since the maximum difference 
between tide levels is about 6 m. much interesting material may 
be obtained at extreme low tide. 
Through the munificence of Mr. W. H. Hudleston another 
English station was erected in 1908. It is located at Culler- 
coats near Newcastle-on-Tyne, and is an annex of Armstrong 
College at Newcastle. 
In the autumn of 1901, Mr. Eustace Gurney built a fresh¬ 
water laboratory at the edge of Sutton Broad about a kilometer 
and a half from the village of Stalham. It is a substantial 
brick building and is large enough to accommodate four or five 
investigators. The laboratory is provided with all necessary 
glassware, chemicals, and collecting apparatus, including a small 
motor boat and other collecting boats. This Broad—a term 
used locally for bodies of water having an area of two hectares 
or more—was a large sheet of open water until comparatively 
recent times but it is now filled with reeds and many other kinds
