Abstract
THE annual general meeting of the Freshwater Biological Association of the British Empire was held on May 11 in the rooms of the British Waterworks Association, Grand Buildings, Trafalgar Square, W.C.2. The following officers were elected for 1933–34:—President, Mr. Reginald Beddington; Chairman of Council, Prof. F. E. Fritsch; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. Nigel O. Walker; Hon. Director of the Laboratory, Dr. W. H. Pearsall; Hon. Secretary, Mr. J. T. Saunders. The report of the Council showed that considerable progress has been made in fitting out the Laboratory of the Association at Wray Castle at Windermere. Tables are now available for visiting research workers and accommodation for these workers is provided in the Castle. Subscriptions have been received from a wide circle interested in freshwater problems. Subscriptions, renting tables at the Laboratory, have also been received from universities, many of which have already nominated research workers to occupy their tables at the Laboratory. The Council is anxious to provide the fullest possible facilities at the Laboratory for those who wish to work on freshwater problems. The most pressing need at the moment is the provision of an electric supply for the Laboratory, but the Council has at present no funds to supply this need. The address of the honorary secretary of the Association is Mr. J. T. Saunders, Christ's College, Cambridge.
