REPORT ON THE INSTRUCTION IN ZOOLOGY. 



By Professor E. L. Mark. 



The resignation of Dr. W. McM. Woodworth a year ago and 

 the appointment of Dr. W. E. Castle as Instructor in Anatomy 

 and Embryology changed slightly the distribution of work among 

 the instructors in the Department, but the scope and nature of the 

 lectures and laboratory work were not materially altered except in 

 the case of Zoology 4, where the animal chosen for minute study 

 was different from those selected in previons years. 



The attendance upon the several courses in Zoology is shown 

 in the accompanying table, which at the same time gives similar 

 information about the students of Radcliffe College attending 

 courses in Zoology.

Zoology 1 was conducted by Dr. Davenport, as usual. His 

 Chief Assistant was Mr. R. W. Hall, and the Sub-Assistants 

 were Messrs. H. G. Barber, A. S. Hanna, R. H. Johnson, and 

 H. McBurney. 



With the change in Instructors, Zoology 2 was transferred from 

 Dr. Parker to Dr. Castle. The forms selected for laboratory work 

 were nearly the same as those used in previous years ; they were
