A CENTURY OF ZOOLOGY IN INDIANA. 223 



report is now in the hands of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, awaiting publica- 

 tion. 



The late Dr. F. M. Webster (Lebanon, N. H., Aug. 8, 1849 — 1916), 

 one of the ablest economic entomologists that America has ever produced, 

 in the several years during which he was a member of the faculty of Purdue 

 University, made important studies of the economic relations of many of the 

 insects of the state, the results of which are found in the bulletins of the 

 Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station and elsewhere. 



Various others have contributed to our knowledge of the insect fauna of 

 Indiana, but space and time will not permit even an enumeration of them, 

 even if the literature were at hand to enable me to do so. 



It will suffice to say that in the century's progress in zoology in Indiana, 

 entomology has not lagged behind. 



"A century of zoology in Indiana" is a pretty broad subject. The 

 field of zoology is very wide. The different groups of living things which 

 '3ome under the term zoology are many. I have in this paper treated of 

 only a few of them; I have considered only the mammals, birds, reptiles, 

 batrachians, fishes, moUusks and insects. The crustaceans, worms, and 

 various other groups I have not considered at all. 



So numerous and so nroductive have been the workers in zoology in 

 Indiana that the limits of this paper have permitted me merely to enumerate 

 the more active ones and to comment in the briefest manner on the splendid 

 work they have done for Indiana. 



I must not fail to mention, briefly at least, the educational institutions 

 in Indiana which have been centers of zoological researc;h and inspiration. 

 While it is true that it is the workers in the subject, the men themselves, 

 who create the enthusiasm, nevertheless the institutions, with which they are 

 connected exert a collective influence which augments that of the individual 

 workers. It is with pleasure that I mention Earlham, Moores Hill, Hanover, 

 Wabash, Vincennes and Butler Colleges; DePauw, Indiana and Purdue 

 univers ties; the Indiana State Normal School and Valpariso Normal Uni- 

 versity, as institutions which have each contributed much to the progress 

 oF zoological science in Indiana. Each of these has had in its faculty men of 

 enthusiasm, magnetism and vision, — such as Joseph Moore and David Worth 

 Dennis at Earlham; Charles Wesley Hargitt and A. J. Bigney at Moores 

 Hill; Glen Culberson at Hanover; John Merle Coulter at Wabash; O. P. 

 Jenkins and W. W. Norman at DePauw; Stanley Coulter at Purdue; and 

 O. P. Hay and H. L. Bruner at Butler. All these as teachers have done 

 much for zoological science. There are other institutions and other teachers 

 that I might mention, did space permit. 



The list of investigators and teachers whom I have mentioned is a for- 

 midable one. What these men have done and what a number ot them are 

 still_doing for the zoology of Indiana, great as it is, is only a small part of 

 what they have done and are still doing for zoology in general. These men
