Abstract
AT the conference which was held at Stockholm in June, 1899, having for its object the promotion of international cooperation in studying the physical and biological conditions of the seas bordering Europe, programmes were discussed and formulated, which were revised at the second conference, held in Christiania, in May, 1901, when a scheme for the coordination of the proposed work was provisionally agreed to. This scheme contemplated the creation of an International Council nominated by the Governments of the countries interested, which should meet periodically and organise and direct the proposed work, utilising for this purpose funds to be placed at its disposal by the Governments in question.
