collected by the Prince himself on his numerous scientific 
cruises. While the institution is nominally a museum, never¬ 
theless researches are being carried on by a staff of investigators 
and the well equipped Eider makes trips regularly once or twice 
a week for the purpose of collecting material and making obser¬ 
vations. The museum has recently become affiliated with the 
Sorbonne. Dr. Jules Richard is its present director. It was 
formally opened on March 29, 1910.

The Zoological Station at Trieste is pleasantly situated near 
the far end of the harbor, in a quiet residential portion of the 
city, and overlooks the Gulf of Trieste with its varicolored and 
very transparent water. The building was once a residence and 
belonged to the king of Spain. It has been converted, however, 
into a conveniently arranged and well equipped station. There 
are two rather large general laboratories, some smaller rooms 
for research work, a library, and a museum. The aquarium is 
rather small and is located in the basement, being somewhat 
dark. 
The station now possesses a fair sized motor boat, especially 
built and well equipped for work in any part of the Adriatic. 
Previous to 1908, that is before the new boat Was built, investi¬ 
gations were confined chiefly to the Gulf of Trieste and some of 
the shallower adi acent water. But with the present equipment, 
attention can now be directed to a much larger field of opera¬ 
tions. Dr. C. I. Cori is the director of the station. It is open 
to research students during the entire year but naturally it is 
visited by the largest number of biologists during the summer. 
The Zoological Station at Rovigno is located in the midst of a 
good collecting region on the Adriatic. The building was en¬ 
larged in 1902. It is pleasantly situated on a small, quiet bay. 
The first floor is occupied by an aquarium, a dining room, and a 
kitchen. The second floor is occupied by the laboratories and 
the library, while on the third floor, there are several well-fur¬ 
nished living rooms. During the regular summer season, board 
and room may be obtained at the station for about a dollar a
