Description: Work stations in the laboratory Text reads The laboratories contain accommodation for over fifty scientific men to work, and each such work-place, known technically as a table,consists either of a small room or of an alcove or a portion screened off from a larger room. Such tables are rented at £100 a year, not to individuals,but to states or universities or committees, and of the fiftyfive tables at present available about thirty-four are permanently engaged thus bringing in a considerable annual subsidy to the administration. Germany takes some ten of these tables, and Italy seven.There are, I believe, three American tables one belonging to the Women's Association and there are three English (rented by the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford and the British Association respectively),consequently there are generally about half-a-dozen English and American biologists at work in the station; but Dr. Dohrn interprets in a most liberal spirit the rules as to the occupancy of a table, and, as a matter of fact, during a recent visit of the present writer there were, for a short time, no less than three of us on the books occupying simultaneously the British Association table, but in reality all provided with separate rooms File:PSM V77 D228 The laboratory of an investigator.png Figure and text from THE GREATEST BIOLOGICAL STATION IX THE WORLD.By Professor W. a.
