fied slightly, reading then Professor of Systematic Zoology and 

 Taxidermy, and in this form continued afterward unchanged. 

 Gertrude A. Crotty was made assistant in the department in 

 1889, and remained until 1892. No successor was appointed 

 to her position until 1896, when R. C. Gowell took up the work. 

 His untimely death in the following year again left the place 

 open. The vacancy thus occasioned was filled in the spring 

 term of the year 1897-'98 by the appointment of C. E. McClung, 

 then student assistant in the department of paleontology, as 

 Assistant Professor of Zoology. This title was changed in 

 1900 to Assistant Professor of Histology and Animal Mor- 

 phology, in 1901 to Associate Professor of Zo51ogy, and in 

 1905 to Professor of Zoology. Doctor McClung became head 

 of the department in 1901, and has continued in that capacity 

 since. 



The position of Instructor in Zoology was established in 

 1900, and its first incumbent was Walter S. Sutton, who was 

 succeeded in the following year by Maulsby W. Blackman. No 

 further change was made in this place until 1904, when William 

 J^ Baumgartner followed Mr. Blackman. In 1905 Mr. Baum- 

 gartner became Assistant Professor of Zoology, and Miss Mary 

 Augusta Duke was made Assistant Instructor in Zoology. 

 Miss Nadine Nowlin took the place of Miss Duke in 1906, and 

 Richard E. Scammon was added to the faculty as Assistant In- 

 structor. A fellowship in biology was founded in 1905 and Roy 

 <X Hoskins was its first holder. It is now entitled a fellowship 

 fn zoology and its incumbent is Earl Clark. 



Upon the departure of Doctor Williston in 1902 the work in 

 vertebrate paleontology reverted to the department of zoology, 

 and the title of Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology was trans- 

 ferred to Doctor McClung. Associated with this work as pre- 

 parator was H. T. Martin. In 1906 he became Assistant Cu- 

 rator of Vertebrate Paleontology and so continues. Previous 

 tJQ the appointment of Mr. Martin as preparator, Judge E. P. 

 West, T. H. Overton, and E. S. Riggs were employed in this 

 csapacity. Judge West made extensive collections and inaugu- 

 rated the work of systematic preparation of specimens. For 

 se\^eral years Sidney Prentice was artist in the department. 



At various times there have been men connected with the de- 

 partment, some of whom were more or less associated with in- 

 struction work, while others had no direct relation to it. Be-
