FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND EXPENDITURES. 
The entire sum available for the equipment of the Station and its maintenance 
for three years and three months has been $10,300, $1,800 of which was ap- 
propriated by the Trustees of the University March 13, 1894, for the com-_ 
mencement of the work, and the remainder of which is derived from legisla-— 
tive appropriation made in J une, 1895. Two thousand five hundred dollars of this 
latter appropriation was for building and equipment and $6,000 for running ex- — 
penses for.two years. The equipment fund has been expended in the pur- 
chase and modification of the Station launch ‘‘Tlini,’’ in building, furnish- | 
ing, and equipping the floating laboratory and in providing various minor 
items of apparatus and furniture. 
The floating laboratory or cabin-boat cost $1,573 furnished and equipped, > 
the contract price for construction being $1,255. Five thousand five hundred } 
and six dollars had been expended September 30, 1896, on account of salaries ) 
and general expenses of the Station, a balance of $1,394 remaining in hand to | 
the credit of the appropriation. The salaries for this period of thirty months 
have been $4,218,—an average of about $140 per month,—and the general 
expenses of the work have been $2,187—approximately $73 per month.
