MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 21 



The Josiah Dwight Whitney Scholarships were awarded as 

 follows: $100. to Ransom E. Somers, 2 G.; $100. to Winthrop P. 

 Haynes, '11, and the excess of income over $200. to Winthrop P. 

 Haynes for geographical study in the State of Washington on 

 problems outlined by Professor Davis. 



The Summer School in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, 

 conducted by Professor Woodworth, was very successful. The 

 establishment of this course upon a permanent basis, owing to 

 the generous gift of $10,000. from Mr. Robert W. Sayles, will 

 without doubt greatly strengthen this Department, and will also 

 widen its sphere of influence in the country at large. 



No student took the research course in Meteorology (Geology 

 20f) offered by Professor Rotch, and his time was occupied in 

 directing the work of the Blue Hill Observatory. 



In Meteorology and Climatology, Professor Ward notes the 

 addition, to the teaching equipment, of the following: — a set of 

 the new Oxford Wall Maps; three enlarged world maps of mean 

 maximum and mean minimum temperatures and of mean annual 

 extreme ranges of temperature (after van Bebber); a set of 

 greatly enlarged weather maps illustrating typical weather con- 

 ditions, these large wall maps being necessitated by the increase 

 in the number of students in the elementary course in Meteorology; 

 and about fifty photographic enlargements of South American 

 subjects for use in the course on the Geography of South America 

 ("Geology 2"). The danger in connection with the use of the 

 roof-platform by students, especially during the winter months,, 

 has led to the removal of the thermometer shelter from the roof.. 

 The thermometer, thermograph, and hygrograph are now placed 

 in a window shelter on the 4th floor, in a more convenient and 

 accessible location, where they can be readily seen at all times. 

 The mercurial barometers and the barograph are placed in the 

 same room, and are also easily accessible. The roof-platform will 

 be used for the rain-gauges, for nephoscope work, and for the 

 purpose of making comparative readings of instruments at differ- 

 ent heights. A new Negretti and Zambra hyetograph has been 

 added to the instrumental equipment. A new set of cloud charts 

 for the United States, prepared by Kenneth McR. Clark as a 

 part of his work in the course in Advanced Climatology has been 

 published (Quart. Journ. roy. met. soc, April, 1911, vol. 37, 

 p. 169-175). 



Assistant Professor J. B. Woodworth reports that he gave the 

 lectures in Geology 4, 5, 8, and 16, with the assistance, in the
