Abstract
SOME definite prospect at length presents itself of the establishment within British waters of an institution long recognised as a leading desideratum among our Biologists, Museum-Conservators, and Natural History Students, namely, a building with the necessary appurtenances suitably situated, and founded on a somewhat similar basis to that of Dr, Anton Dohrn's noted Zoological Station at Naples, or the Anderson School of Natural History at Penikese Island, Buzzard's Bay, U.S. This long-felt need will be met by the proposed “Channel Islands' Zoological Station and Museum, and Institute of Pisciculture” described at some length in the advertising columns of this journal, and the establishment of which, or a similar institution, has been the guiding star and main object of the writer's ambition during the several years'“apprenticeship”spent by him as Naturalist and Curator to the various leading public aquaria of England.
