REPORT. 



To the President and Fellows of Harvard College : — 



During the past year the usual courses of instruction have been 

 given at the Museum in the Natural History Laboratories. Those 

 in Zoology were given by Professor Mark, Doctors Davenport, 

 Parker, and Castle, assisted in the Laboratory work by Messrs. 

 R. W. Hall and F. C. Waite. Professors Shaler and Davis, to-

 A. Jaggar, Jr., and J. B. Woodworth, gave courses of instruction 

 in Geology, Palaeontology, Physical Geography, and Meteorology. 

 The Assistants in these Departments were Messrs. C. H. White, 

 J. E. Woodman, and J. M. Boutwell. »

 those of the summer courses in Geology, I would refer to the 

 accompanying special reports of the Professors and Instructors. 



Professor Hans Reusch, Director of the Geological Survey of 

 Norway, acted during the past year as Sturgis Hooper Professor, 

 giving Lectures and assisting advanced students. 



As the reports concerning instruction both in Geology and 

 Zoology will hereafter appear in the circulars of the Division of 

 Geology and Zoology, under the auspices of the Faculty of Arts 

 and Sciences, it seems unnecessary to duplicate the publication in 

 the Museum Reports. 



The Newport Marine Laboratory was not opened this year to 

 students of the Zoological Department as heretofore. The ad-

 tory of the United States Fish Commission at Wood's Hole, to 

 which students properly qualified have been admitted by the 

 Hon. George M. Bowers, U. S. Fish Commissioner. The income 

 of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship has been assigned ac-
