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 Zoology by Professor Mark, Dr. Slade, 

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

 W. M. Wood worth, Ritter, and Hubbard. 



Professors Whitney, Shaler, and Davis, and Dr. J. E. Wolff, 

 gave courses of instruction in Geology, Palaeontology, Physical 

 Geography, and Petrography. Messrs. Harris, J. B. Woodworth, 

 Cobb, and Tarr were the Assistants in the Undergraduate instruc- 

 tion of the Geological Department. 



For the details of these courses of instruction, as well as of the 

 summer courses in Geology, I would refer to the accompanying 

 special reports of the Professors and Instructors. 



Professor Farlow's report upon the Botanical part of the intro- 

 ductory course of Natural History will appear in the report of the 

 Botanical Department. 



The Geological Section of the Museum has been occupied during 

 the past year, and its Laboratories and Lecture Rooms have been 

 found well adapted to their purpose. No progress has as yet 

 been made in the equipment of the Geological and Geographical 

 Museum, but the rooms are used to establish a connection between 

 the Exhibition Rooms of the Museum of Comparative Zoology 

 and the Botanical and Mineralogical Collections of the University 

 Museum. 



An extensive addition has been made to the Newport Marine 

 Laboratory, so that there is now ample accommodation for eight 

 advanced students, beside the space occupied by myself and assist- 

 ant. Additional room is thus provided for the housing of books, 

 drawings, and other records in use at the Laboratory. Messrs.
