It would be impossible in this place to mention these results in detail, or even to single out those of seemingly most importance. No general line of research has been pursued, the only limiting conditions being that the researches should be devoted to problems of tropical life. In addition to the local researches of the laboratory, visits have been made in its staunch little ship, the "Anton Dohrn," to distant regions, through the Caribbean Archipelago, to Jamaica, Porto Rico, and even to the Great Barrier Reef of.
