By the death on 14 December of Professor Sir James Gray, K.T., C.B.E., M.C., Criox de Guerre, M.A., Sc.D., LL.D., F.R.S., at the age of 84, both zoology and marine biology have lost one of their great figures. His connexion with the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom stretches from his first visit as a research worker to the Plymouth Laboratory in 1912, when he became a member of the Association, through his long service on the Council (first in 1920 and then continuously from 1928 to 1969), to his Presidency (1945–55) and his election as Vice-President in 1955 and Honorary Member in 1965. He was also a member of the Scottish M.B.A. since 1921 and served on its Council for six years (1960–66) and was elected a Vice-President in 1965.

The Subject

The Council of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom has determined to issue to its members notes and reports concerning the work of the Association in the form of a Journal, which will appear at intervals, determined by the amount of material ready for publication. It is not proposed to limit the contents of this Journal to formal reports, nor to publish in it lengthy scientific memoirs, but to include within its pages, besides the official statements of the Council, brief records of observations relating to the marine biology and fisheries of the coasts of the United Kingdom which may appear to have a definite bearing upon the work actually in progress under the auspices of the Association. With this object in view the Council of the Association invite communications from fishermen and naturalists, which may either be printed in full in this Journal or form the subject of a note.
