MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 35 



The payments on account of the Museum are made by the Bursar of Harvard 

 College, on vouchers approved by the Keeper. The accounts are annually exam- 

 ined by a committee of the Overseers. The only funds the income of which is 

 restricted, the Gray and the Humboldt Funds, are annually charged in an analysis 

 of the accounts, with vouchers to the payment of which the income is applicable. 



The income of the Gray Fund can be applied to the purchase and maintenance 

 of collections, but not for salaries. 



The income of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship Fund, of the value of $250, 

 is assigned annually with the approval of the Faculty of the Museum, on the recom- 

 mendation of the Professor of Zoology and of Comparative Anatomy in Harvard 

 University, " in supporting or assisting to support one or more students who 

 have shown decided talents in Zoology, and preferably in the direction of Marine 

 Zoology." 



The income of the Humboldt Fund (about $300) can be applied for the benefit of 

 one or more students of Natural History, either at the Museum, the United States 

 Fish Commission Station at Wood's Hole, Bermuda, or the Tortugas. 



Applications for the tables reserved for advanced students at the Wood's Hole 

 Station should be made to the Faculty of the Museum before the 1st of May. 

 Applicants should state their qualifications, and indicate the course of study they 

 intend to pursue.
