6 C. GROEBEN develop Darwinian theory in the last 30 years of the nineteenth century. As a result of his conversion to evolutionary theory in the early 1860's, Dohrn promised to dedicate his whole life to Darwinism—a promise he indeed kept. In 1865, Dohrn accompanied Haeckel on his famous expedition to Helgoland where, for the first time Dohrn studied marine organisms (Fig. 1). It seems to have been in Helgoland, while struggling home with buckets full of sea water, that Dohrn and Haeckel talked about a "Zoological Station" (Uschmann, 1959, p. 65). Dohrn's friendship with Haeckel ended a few years later when the younger man, influenced by Kant and F. A. Lange's Geschichte des Materialismus (1866), could no longer subscribe to HaeckeFs philosophical generalizations. But familiarity with marine organisms as objects for study, and the idea of establishing a marine laboratory remained an important legacy from Haeckel for the rest of Dohrn's life. In 1867 (July-September) and again in 1868 Dohrn went to Millport, Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland, to continue his studies on Arthropoda. There he lived as a guest of David Robertson (1806-1896), a self-taught Scottish zoologist and later founder of the Millport Biological Station (1885). It was during this first trip to England that Dohrn, through an introduction by his father to the entomologist Henry Tibbats Stainton (1822-1892), met many English zoologists, most importantly Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), with

Excursion to Helgoland, . Standing, left to right: Anton Dohrn, Jena; Richard Greef, Bonn; Ernst Haeckel, Jena. Sitting, left to right: Salverda, Delft; Pietro Marchi, Florence. 1865 Helgoland in the Northern Sea.4 Group leader was Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919).

Richard Greef (1829-1892), later professor at Marburg, Pietro Marchi from Florence (born in 1833), Matthijs Salverda (1840-1886) from Delft and Anton Dohrn (1840-1909). Dohrn stayed for six weeks (18 August – 2 October 1865).5 He had taken along several books as well as 2 microscopes [At that time Dohrn owned a grosses Microscop von Zeiss, ein kleines von Schick, und eine Stativ Lupe nach Brücke] 1 Brücke magnifier and nets of different quality and also "Solid winter clothing, macintosh,incredibly beautiful hats for all weathers. In Helgoland Anton Dohrn switched from entomology ( eg Dohrn, F.A. 1859. Catalogus Hemipterorum. Herausgegeben von dem entomologischen Vereine zu Stettin 1859).to marine organisms (Crustaceans) Also the idea of a Zoological Station was born.

Helgoland had attracted many naturalists since in the 1830s Christian Gottfried Ehrenbeg (1835), Albert von Koelliker Johannes Müller (both in 1840) In a letter to Haeckel, dated Stettin 5. Aug. [18] 65 Dohrn mentions the following books: "Vogt, zoolog. Briefe. Bronn, Class. & Ordnung d. Thierreichs I & II. Leydig, Histologie, Siebold & Stannius, Burmeister, zoonomische Briefe, und Carl Vogt, Nordcaps Fahrt" asks whether he should also take along Gegenbuaer's Heteropods and Muller and Troschel's “Anteriden”.

Matthijs Salverda (7 February 1840 in Appingedam -11 June 1886 in 's-Gravenhage), educated in Leiden and from 1863 Doct. wis-nat on defending his thesis Vergelijkend-ontleedkundige aanteekeningen over Calotes, Cuv. was later (1866-1872) Professor at the University of Groningen where he was made Rector Magnificus in 1871. Salverda publications:De beteekenis van Aristoteles voor de ontwikkeling der natuurlijke geschiedenis an ; Handleiding bij de beoefening van de kennis der natuur : ten dienste van onderwijzers en aankomende onderwijzers Groningen : Wolters, 1882-1883; Handleiding bij het onderwijs in de beginselen der dierkunde (Educational Guide to the Principles of Zoology) Groningen, 1871

Richard Greef or Greeff [2] Pietro Marchi (1833 in Florence -?) was a Florentine naturalist and fervent supporter of evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin (1809-1882). He was Professor of Zoology at the Istituto di Studi Superiori of Florence until 1907. Pietro Marchi assembled a collection of invertebrates (in alcohol in glass bootles with ground glass stoppers), now held by the Fondazione Scienza e Tecnica of Florence. He took part in the Risorgimento (campaigns of 1850, 1860 and 1866). He studied medicine and natural sciences in the University of Pisa and graduated in 1855. He taught Comparative Anatomy in La Specola,the Natural History Museum in Florence (1861). In Germany he studied under Leuckart in Giessen, under Max Schultze in Bonn and under Haeckel in Jena. At the end of 1866 he became Professor at Istituto Tecnico di Firenze Technical institute of Florence and directed the Museo Tecnologico dell'Istituto Tecnico. He was especially interested in helminthes. Pietro Marchi publications include:
