An investigation of the rate of growth in Marine Invertebrates was begun in 1911, and a large amount of material the age of which is known has now been collected from various sources. The particular objects of this research are: (1) to establish the age of common marine invertebrates, (2) to determine the minimum age at which these forms begin to breed, (3) to examine the rate of growth at different seasons of the year and under different conditions, (4) to investigate the fecundity of different forms so far as possible, and (5) to collect the scattered literature on these subjects.
