Dr. Yonge holds the Regius Chair of Zool- ogy at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. He is president of the Scottish Marine Bio- logical Association. He received his doctor- ate from the University of Edinburgh in 1922 for original studies of food and feeding in 'Mya arenaria'--the common soft-shell clam, or mannose. His research career began at the Plymouth, England, marine biological lab where he studied metabolism in the European oyster. In the late 1920s, he led an expedition to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. It resulted in significant contributions to marine science and the founding of the Heron Island lab for continuing reef studies. He has worked at marine stations all over the world. Classics of Marine Biology Dr. Yonge'stwo most famous books, "The Oyster" and "The Sea Shore," are classics. The results of his research have influenced the direction of modern invertebrate biology. He is now interested in the relationship be- tween the shape or anatomy of marine bivalves (oysters, clams, mussels) and their ability to adapt to the environment. Oxford Seminar His seminar at Oxford reviewed the world status of molluscan culture, or sea-farming. He related the development of aquaculture to biological events. He used personal observa- tions from more than 20 visits to the and Canada as examples of dynamic changes in the James B. Engle, Chief, Shellfish Advisory Service (left). Dr. C.
