Abstract
IN my letter published in NATURE of January 4, I attributed to the Government a larger grant in aid of the fishery investigations of the Royal Dublin Society than was actually given. My friend Mr. Holt informs me that, of a total sum of 2800l. originally provided for the work of the Marine Laboratory for five years, the Government only supplied one-half, viz. 1400l., the remaining 1400l. being voted by the Society out of its private funds. It being found impossible to carry out the work satisfactorily with such small funds, the Society has recently voted a further sum of 500l. for the purchase and equipment of a fishing boat. My contention that existing institutions should be adequately supported before Government money is employed for starting a new organisation is therefore considerably strengthened.
