“Zoological research was in the hands of specialists, with Verrill as head of the section of marine invertebrates and E. B. Wilson as his outstanding assistant (fig. 13). The fact that this eminent American embryologist and cytologist was associated with the laboratory during the earliest years of its existence has remained a source of pride to many biologists who during the past 80 years were employed by the U. S. Fisheries Laboratory at Woods Hole.”;
