REPORT ON THE INSTRUCTION GIVEN BY PROFESSOR 

 FAXON, DR. MARK, AND MR. W. M. DAVIS. 



The course in Biology, given by Professors Farlow and Faxon, 

 was attended by thirty-two students, five of whom were Seniors, 

 sixteen Juniors, six Sophomores, and five students in the Law- 

 rence Scientific School. In the laboratory work of this course 

 they had the assistance of Mr. C. H. Morss. The course in Ad- 

 vanced Zoology by Professor Faxon was followed throughout the 

 year by thirteen students (eleven Seniors and two members of the 

 Lawrence Scientific School), two of whom supplemented their 

 study in Cambridge by several weeks' work in Mr. Agassiz's lab- 

 oratory at Newport, R. I. 



The course in general Zoology, by Dr. E. L. Mark, was pursued 

 by fifty-four students ; of whom eight were Seniors, twelve Juniors, 

 twenty-six Sophomores, and two Freshmen. Four were students 

 in the Lawrence Scientific School, and two were unmatriculated. 

 The course in Embryology, also by Dr. Mark, was followed by 

 three persons, one of whom was a candidate for the degree' A. M., 

 and the two others were students of the Lawrence Scientific 

 School. The lectures were also regularly attended by three other 

 persons during portions of the year : a candidate for the degree 

 of Sc.D., a special student in Entomology,' and a student of the 

 Bussey Institution. 



On account of the absence of Professor Shaler, the electives in 

 Palaeontology and Historic Geology were not given this year. 

 For the same reason, the classes in General and Advanced Geol- 

 ogy were put in charge of Mr. W. M. Davis, instructor in the 

 department. The work done was as follows : — 



In Physical Geography and Meteorology. Lectures three times a 

 week, on the same plan as in previous years, to a class of sixty-three un- 

 dergraduates, and three students of the Scientific School. 



In Geology. Lectures three times a week, based on Dana's Manual
