INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 87 To give the staff practice in receiving, sorting, accessioning, and record-keeping, the technicians of the Sorting Center processed four- teen accessions, consisting of 2,371 lots of over 68,460 specimens, from the Museum of Natural History. In addition, valuable material re- ceived from the Geological Survey and the Lamont Geological Ob- servatory is being sorted for distribution to appropriate specialists. The Center is particularly fortunate to have the advisory services of Dr. J. H. Wickstead, marine biologist from the Laboratory of Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom at Plymouth, England. At the end of the year Dr. Wickstead began a 3-months' period during which he will assist in the training of technicians in the sorting, and the care and preservation of plankton received from the various expeditions. He will also provide guidance to the organizing of this new facility. Staff participation in specific research projects and oceanographic research cruises are treated in the reports of the departments of the Museum of Natural History involved in the oceanography program.
