THE 
MARINE BIOLOGICAL STATION AT PORT ERIN, 
BEING THE 
TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 
OF THE 
LIVERPOOL MARINE BIOLOGY COMMITTEE, 
ForTuNATELY, this year there are no losses on the 
Committee and no changes in the staff to be recorded, 
but both the Station buildings and their equipment and 
the scientific and economic work carried out at Port Erin 
have undergone additions and advances during recent 
months. 
A new research wing, full details of which will be 
given below, has this autumn been added on to the back 
of the eastern or laboratory end of the Station. 
The Liverpool Marine Biology Committee are very 
much indebted to His Honour the Deemster Callow 
for his kind offices in obtaining the necessary 
‘permission from the Isle of Man Fishery Board 
(of which he is the Chairman), and from His 
Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, to erect the new 
building on a portion of the Harbour Board land enclosed 
by the Station boundary wall. Deemster Callow has 
further been successful in obtaining a new lease of the 
whole site from the Harbour Board, to run for twenty-one 
years from the present time, and for that period the new 
wing now added will be included along with the older 
buildings in the existing agreement between the Fishery 
Board on the one hand and the Liverpool Marine Biology 
Committee on the other. It may not be out of place to 
record here that throughout these negotiations the various 
Authorities in the Isle of Man have been most cordial
