Arrangements are being made for the transfer of laboratory 

 instruction in physiology from the Medical College to the Museum 

 and the laboratory equipment will be considerably extended for 

 this purpose. Mr. L. Wm. McGrath, now assistant in zoology, 

 will become instructor in physiology next year. 



The Home and School Association invited Professor Rea to 

 speak at the Mitchell School February 16 on how the Museum 

 can help the schools. On Sunday evening, April 21, Professor 

 Rea spoke before the People's Forum on the relation of mos- 

 quitoes and flies to disease. 



On Washington's birthday an all-day field trip by water was 

 held as usual, the destination this year being Folly Island. Dred- 

 ging in Stono Inlet and collecting on the front beach were the 

 chief events and resulted in the addition of considerable inter- 

 esting material for the biological survey. On March 21 a small 

 party visited Otranto with Mr. Weston to study birds and se- 

 cured a number of good migration records. Miss Bragg guided 

 an enthusiastic party of botanists to the site of the early botani- 

 cal garden of Andre Michaux about ten miles from Charleston, 

 and several smaller trips have been conducted by other mem- 

 bers of the Society.
