Abstract
IN Current Science (vol. 1, No. 10, April 1933) it is stated that at a joint session of the Botany and Zoology Sections of the Indian Science Congress recently held at Patna under the presidency of Prof. Gopala Aiyer, the desirability of establishing a Marine Biological Station in India was discussed. Col. Sewell opened the discussion. It was suggested that the authorities of the Science Congress should sanction a certain sum of money which would act as a nucleus for private subscription, and the general opinion was in favour of the station being at Bombay, which with its central position and varied coast line offers an ideal site for such a laboratory. It was moved and seconded that a committee of five biologists be appointed by this joint session of Botany and Zoology Sections of the Indian Science Congress to go into the question of establishing a Marine Biological Station in India and the resolution was carried by a large majority. The committee was constituted as follows: Dr. S. B. Setna, of Bombay (convener), Prof. Gopala Aiyer, of Madras, Prof. George Mathai, of Lahore, Prof. R. H. Dastur, of Bombay, and Dr. S. K. Mukerji, of Lucknow.
