18 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



Professor Ward conducted the elementary half-course in Me- 

 teorology (Geology B, 113 students); an intermediate course in 

 Meteorology (Geology 1) ; and two half-courses in Climatology 

 (Geology 19 and 25). Course B was also given to thirteen Rad- 

 cliffe students. A number of important additions were made to 

 the laboratory materials, and a new standard mercurial barometer 

 and a Robinson cup anemometer were purchased. During the 

 last half-year much time was spent in classifying and rearranging 

 the meteorological and climatological books and laboratory mate- 

 rials in the new building. All the collections are now much more 

 accessible than ever before. On the roof of the new Geological 

 Section of the Museum there has been provided a small platform, 

 on which it will be possible to expose some of the ordinary me- 

 teorological instruments, and from which observations of clouds, 

 etc., can readily be made. As soon as the necessary funds are 

 available, it is proposed to install a complete set of the ordinary 

 meteorological instruments, partly upon this platform and partly 

 in the window shelter on the fourth floor. Thus the students in 

 meteorological courses may be given some instruction in instru- 

 mental work, which has up to this time been impossible, owing to 

 lack of facilities in the quarters previously occupied. Professor 

 Ward has continued his work on the translation of Hann's 

 " Handbuch der Klimatologie," which is now in press. 



Professor J. B. Woodworth gave instruction in Elementary 

 Geology (Course 5) to 164 students. He was assisted by Messrs. 

 Woodman, Goldthwait, Gale, Hunt, and R. M. Brown. The ad- 

 vanced course in General Geology was attended by twenty stu- 

 dents. A half-course in Glacial Geology was taken by three 

 students, and one student worked in Course 23, on the moraines 

 at West Gloucester. A half-course of lectures was given to thirty- 

 four students in Elementary Geology in Radcliffe College, and a 

 half-course of laboratory and field-work was given to three Rad- 

 cliffe students. The field-work in the latter course was conducted 

 by Mr. Woodman. Professor Woodworth also gave Geology 8 to 

 three students in Radcliffe College, and during the year was en- 

 gaged, in a continuation of his investigation of the Pleistocene 

 geology of the Hudson and Champlain valleys, under the auspices 

 of the New York State Museum. In July, 1902, he took up the 

 detailed study and mapping of the glacial and so-called Cham- 

 plain deposits of the Moore's quadrangle in that State. At the 

 request of the State Geologist of New York, he addressed in July
