Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom Report of the Council for 1959–60

Abstract
The Association was greatly honoured on 18 March 1960 by a visit to the Plymouth laboratory of our Patron, H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness spent over an hour in the laboratory and aquarium, and met members of the staff and visiting research workers. The President and Honorary Treasurer were present for the occasion. The Council have to report with regret the death of Dr W. R. G. Atkins, C.B.E., F.R.S., who was Head of the Department of General Physiology at the Plymouth laboratory from 1921 to 1955. During these years Dr Atkins laid the foundations of much of our present knowledge of the chemistry and physics of the sea and brought international renown to the Plymouth laboratory.
