Summary

The Council have great pleasure in reporting that Prof. C. F. A. Pantin, Sc.D., F.R.S., was elected President of the Association in June in place of Prof. A. V. Hill, C.H., O.B.E., F.R.S., who had served for the previous five years.

The Council wish to record their deep appreciation of the services rendered to the Association by Prof. A. V. Hill during his term of office, a period notable for the increased development of research on the physiology of marine organisms at the Plymouth laboratory. Prof. Hill was re-elected a Vice-President of the Association.

The Council have to report with regret the death of the Earl of Verulam, a Vice-President of the Association since 1953; and of Mr W. H. Searle, B.E.M., who served the Association so faithfully as fisherman collector for a period of 63 years.

The Council and Officers

Four ordinary meetings of the Council were held during the year, two in the rooms of the Royal Society, one in the rooms of the Zoological Society of London and one at Plymouth. At these the average attendance was seventeen.

The Plymouth Laboratory

During the year the outside woodwork and chuting of the south wall of the centre bay of the south building have been repainted.

The small lean-to coal shed on the inner side of the south wall of the yard near the entrance gate has been converted by direct labour to house the motor and compressor for charging aqualung cylinders with air.

As ancillary work to the main laboratory extension, the plunger jar room has been renovated and refurnished for use by the finance office staff.
