and Cambridge and the British Association for the Advancement of 
Science have each a table. In the United States, the Smithsonian 
Institution has one, the Carnegie Institution two, Columbia University 
and the Association for Maintaining the American Woman’s Table at 
the Zoological Station in Naples, one each.

citizens of Germany have given 300,000 Marks, and with also at present

ranks. In the early stages of the station English naturalists, headed 
by Darwin, gave £1,000 and thus assured Dohrn of international sym- 
pathy and support in his splendid work. 
Dohrn, as owner and chief of the station, established the most com-

any one who knows Dr. Reinhard Dohrn. Each department is under
