The course on the Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates (Zool. 3) 

 was also given by Mr. Parker to twenty students. 



There were nine students in Zoology 4, which covered about 

 the same ground as in the previous year. Mr. W. M. Woodworth 

 had charge of the laboratory work, and he also gratuitously assisted 

 the instructor in connection with the laboratory work of Zoology 5. 

 The latter course extended through the second half of the year, 

 and was taken by nine students. The lectures, on the Embryology 

 of Vertebrates, were accompanied by laboratory work on the de- 

 velopment of the Chick. 



There were eight persons, all Graduates, engaged in special 

 researches (Zool. 20 a), as large a number as the Laboratory de- 

 signed for this purpose will accommodate. All the students in 

 this work made satisfactory progress with their investigations ; at 

 the last Commencement two of them received the degree of Ph. D., 

 one the degree of S. D., and one the degree of A. M.

The removal of Professor Farlow's Laboratory and the Cryp- 

 togamic Herbarium to the new Botanical section of the University 

 Museum has added a large room to the Zoological Laboratories. 

 By assigning this new room to the less advanced students in 

 microscopic work, it has been possible to relieve the over- 

 crowded condition of the room designed for students working 

 on advanced subjects. 



The meetings of the Zoological Club have been well attended 

 during the year. 



During the past year the following Contributions from the Zoo- 

 logical Laboratory, under Dr. Mark, have been published, all except 

 No. XXIII. in the Museum Bulletin : —
