Abstract
ON July 30, a special meeting of the Council of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom was held in the rooms of the Royal Society in order to appoint Dr. Stanley Kemp, former director of the “Discovery” expeditions to the antarctic, secretary of the Association and director of the Marine Biological Association at Plymouth, the appointment to take effect on October 1. The present director of the Station, Dr. E. J. Alien, retires at his own. request on September 30 after forty-two years of arduous service to the Association. During this period, Dr. Alien has seen the Station grow from being a small and poorly equipped second-rate institution to becoming the premier marine biological station of the world. We propose to refer in a later issue to Dr. Alien's great services to zoological science.
