Abstract
MORE than twenty years have passed away since the veteran physiologist of Kiel—Victor Hensen—initiated a new era in plankton research characterised by the application of biometrical methods. His inventions and investigations culminated in the equipment of an oceanic expedition which was to be an experiment on a large scale. It was one of the first German scientific expeditions, and certainly the first oceanic expedition to be devoted entirely to the study of the floating organisms.
