Abstract

Patron

The Council has pleasure in reporting that His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., has graciously consented to become Patron of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.

The Council and Officers

Four meetings of the Council have been held during the year, three in the rooms of the Royal Society and one at Plymouth. At these the average attendance was seventeen. The Association is indebted ‘to the Council of the Royal Society for the use’of its rooms.

The Council has to record with regret the deaths of two Vice-Presidents, Viscount Astor and Dr W. T. Calman, C.B., F.R.S.; of Dr Th. Mortensen, an Honorary Member of the Association; and of Prof. J. H. Orton, F.R.S., sometime member of Council and for many years a member of the Staff of the Plymouth laboratory.

Thé Plymouth Laboratory

Following the completion last year of the building of the laboratory for research with radioactive substances, the opportunity has been taken of paving the area between this laboratory and the main building with concrete.

The facilities of the main workshop have been improved by the purchase of a milling machine.

The Council is grateful to the Development Commissioners for the supply of a new Morris 10 cwt. truck.

The Aquarium

Throughout the summer months the aquarium was crowded with visitors, and their appreciation and interest is reflected in the sale of large numbers of the aquarium guide book. Tanks have been stocked to capacity, perhaps the most notable exhibits being the wreck-fish {Polyprion americanus), mentioned in last year's report and now in fine condition, and about twenty boar-fish {Capros aper), which make an especially colourful display.
