MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN. 41 
Professional biologists would gladly welcome more of the 
race as fellow-workers. Local biological stations, with 
their unique combination of field-work and laboratory 
facilities and apparatus, should give the amateur or 
non-professional, but serious naturalist opportunities 
such as his predecessors never had of applying keen 
powers of observation and detailed knowledge of living 
nature to the more advanced problems of modern science. 
There is no more fascinating and practically useful 
study for such men—or women— than marine biology; 
and surely no more pleasant country place in which to 
engage in this work than Port Erin can be found within 
easy reach of Liverpool. 

Back view of tke Port Erin Biological Station as it has been in the 
past, showing at the right-hand end where the new research wing 
has now been added. The ground plan of the building as it was 
is seen on p. 49, and as it now is on p. 15.
