Abstract
WILL you allow me space to ask all naturalists and lovers of science who intend to become members of the above Association to send their names and subscriptions without delay to Mr. Frank Crisp, 6, Old Jewry, London, E.C. The subscription is one guinea annually, or fifteen guineas for life membership. It is highly desirable that intending members should at once enrol themselves, since the first meeting of the Association for the election of officers and council for the year 1884–85, and for the ratification of by-laws, will be held in London at the end of this month, when Prof. Huxley will be nominated as President. Donations, whether large or small, are earnestly solicited. Those who are interested in the natural history of marine plants and animals, and who foresee the immense help to this study which a well-equipped laboratory will afford, are begged not only to give some pecuniary aid to the present enterprise, but to constitute themselves agents of the Association and to do their best to persuade others to contribute to the fund required for building the first biological laboratory on the English coast. It is only by hearty and earnest support of this kind that our object can be realised.
