Abstract
THE study of marine life by the sea-side is not only a delightful occupation in itself, but is now considered as an almost essential part of the training of every young biologist. It is also one of the most fruitful fields of inquiry for the elucidation of the fundamental problems of biology. Several marine stations have now been erected on our coasts, in which a naturalist may gain a practical knowledge of the rich fauna and flora of the sea, and where he may apply those modern and often expensive methods of experiment and research which can only be carried out in a well equipped laboratory.
