THE note in NATURE, vol. xxvi. p. 87, on the Darwin memorial, fays that there is to be a fund associated with the name of the great naturalist, which shall be devoted to the furtherance of biological science. Probably most biologists would agree that one of the best plans for effecting this object would be one, the idea of which originated with Mr. Sydney Hickson, of Downing College, Cambridge, who is at present on the staff of the Oxford Biological Laboratory. This plan is to establish out of the fund a marine zoological station somewhere on the English coast, that of Devonshire, for example. Mr. Hickson has advocated this course in a letter to the Times, where he pointed out that Italy, Austria, and France have zoological stations, while we have none, a fact which is one of the many signs that the teachings of Darwin have aroused more enthusiasm and activity abroad than at home. If you would give publicity to this suggestion it would be certain to come under the notice of the Memorial Committee and of biologists generally.
