REPOKT. 



To the President and Fellows of Harvard College: — 



The Laboratories and Lecture Rooms of the Museum afforded 

 the usual facilities for most of the instruction in Zoology, Geology, 

 and Geography offered in Harvard University and in Radcliffe 

 College during the Academic year 1916-1917. 



In Zoology the nineteen courses and half courses were taken by 

 410 students in Harvard University and the ten courses and half 

 courses were taken by 98 students in Radcliffe College. 



In 1915-1916 these courses and students were: — 



Harvard: — 20 courses, 377 students. 



Radcliffe: — 10 courses, 65 students. 



The inadequacy of the accommodations for Laboratory work 

 necessitated the exclusion of many students from the elementary 

 course (Zoology 1). 



In Geology and Geography twenty-eight courses or half courses 

 were offered in Harvard University and two courses were offered 

 in Radcliffe College. 



The number of students taking these courses was 703 in Har- 

 vard University and 34 in Radcliffe College. 



In 1915-1916 these courses and students were: — 



Harvard: — 27 courses, 515 students. 



Radcliffe: — 5 courses, 49 students. 



In memory of her father, Louis Cabot, Mrs. John W. Bartol 

 has generously given $5,000. to establish a fund, the income to be 

 used for the purchase of books on travel, sport, and natural history 

 for the Museum Library. 



Through the generosity of Mrs. William Barbour, Mrs. I. T. 

 Burr, Mrs. C. G. Weld, Prof. Theodore Lyman, Dr. Thomas 

 Barbour, and the Hon. W. Cameron Forbes, the Museum has 

 been able to have some of its collections rearranged and their 

 nomenclature revised, and also to undertake field-work which has 

 given most interesting results. 



Mr. G. K. Xoble was appointed Zoologist of the Expedition to 

 Peru, under the joint auspices of the School of Tropical Medicine 

 and the Museum (Dr. W. L. Moss, Chief), by the President and 

 Fellows. Though the actual time spent in the field was limited
