A BIOLOGIST'S RETURN.
Mr. D. G. Lillie, one of the biologists with the expedition, who returned with the Terra Nova, was asked for information regarding his work. Mr. Lillie explained that just at present he was not able to go into details or to give any results. When the* contents of the trawls were got on board there was no time to investigate them, because unless they were immediately dealt with they became frozen. He hoped, however, to be in a position to give some information in a week or so, and added that he had made arrangements with Mr. E. R. Waite (curator of the museum) for the exhibition of his specimens. Mr. Waite lias very kindly placed a shed nt his disposal, and also a room in the museum. Dr. Chilton had also assisted greatly by lending him the necessary books. With these opportunities and facilities, Mr. Lillie expected to get to work on the specimens shortly, and he anticipated some good results therefrom, especially bearing on the theories regarding the migration of sea fish.
