Abstract
FOUNDED in 1939 by private endowment, the Istituto Italiano di Idrobiologia de Marchi, at Pallanza (Province Novara), is scarcely known abroad. It is situated on the north shore of Lake Maggiore in one of the most suitable and beautiful sites for carrying out research and enjoying the surroundings. Its excellent equipment for field and laboratory research, its spacious accommodation and its sub-station—in a beautiful villa on Lake Como—provide full facilities for any kind of limnological investigation on the great lakes at the foot of the Alps; and a number of smaller lakes all the way up the slopes of the Alps are within easy reach. The main activities of the staff are freshwater ecology, systematics and genetics, a series of papers having already appeared as the Institute's Memorie. Free lodging and free laboratory facilities are offered to foreign guests (up to five at one time). Other facilities may be arranged for by agreement with the director, Dr. E. Baldi. Pallanza is easily reached from either of the two international railways, the Simplon and the St. Gotthard.
