JACK Ph. D. (. Cornell), B. D.

Unitarian Church, Lawrence, Kansas. I have made use of tht term ' biological station' in preference to those in more common use for the reason that my ideal rejects every artificial limitation that might check growth or force a one-sided development. I have in mind, then, not a station devoted exclusively to zoology, or exclusively to botany, or exclusively to phys iology; not a station limited to the study of marine plants and animals; not a lacustral station dealing only with land and freshwater faunas and floras; not a station limited to experimental work, but a genuine biological station, embracing all these important divi sions, absolutely free of every artificial restriction.

If this purpose is partially fulfilled, prospective students and investigators will have a guide to aid them better in selecting a station in which to study or coivduct research work In-addition, it is hoped that this study will be of some benefit to the directors of biological stations, since it may show them how their fellow-administrators are soiling some of the problems attendant to the efficient organisation of these institutions in many parts of the world Finally, if a theoretical justification for studying these insti tutions need be given, it is merely that they have loomed large in the progress of biological instruction and research in the past andproviding they retain their adaptability there is every reason to believe that they will remain equally important in the future. , Although biological stations have been in existence for more than eighty years, there is a paucity of literature about them Biologists have been prone to leave the Study rt */ * jmi* tvo * f uiftt/ A ivhu runly / iiit't-iht itmyht, if the interest, to make intensive analyse* ( 20)* The fnv materials which have been published about biolog ical stations fall into several categories. 1, articles on the functions of these institutions, especially by ANTON DOHRN ( 1), Professor C.
