As I was able to announce in a postscript to my Report in the last number of the Journal, the Association has secured a small steam fishing yacht, which has already proved exceedingly useful in carrying on the work of the Laboratory. Towards the £600 which was paid for the vessel, a little over £500 has now been subscribed. It is important that the remainder of the sum should be forthcoming, so that it may not be necessary to draw upon our small reserve fund for this purpose.
