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, and Doctors Daven- 

 port, Parker, and W. McM. Woodworth, assisted in the Laboratory 

 work by Messrs. Henry R. Linville, John I. Hamaker, and J. H. 

 Hathaway. 



Professors Shaler and Davis, together with Instructors Robert 

 Tracy Jackson, R. DeCourcey Ward, T. A. Jaggar, Jr., and J. B. 

 Woodworth, gave courses of instruction in Geology, Palaeontol-

 these departments were Messrs. Yernon F. Marsters, J. E. Wood- 

 man, and George C. Curtis. 



The courses in Petrography and in Mining Geology, and allied 

 subjects, are now given in the Mineralogical Department. These 

 courses are in charge of Professor Wolff and Professor H. L. 

 Smyth. 



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. 



I would specially call attention to the report of Professor Davis 

 on the results of the teaching of Physical Geography during the 

 summer courses. 



The Newport Marine Laboratory has, as usual, been open to 

 advanced students in Zoology. Eleven students spent a part of 

 their time in the Laboratory collecting material for their special 

 investigations, which they will continue and prepare for publication 

 in Professor Mark's Laboratory at the Museum. I regret that 

 hereafter it will be impracticable for me to open the Newport 

 * Laboratory to the students of the Zoological Department, as has 

 been done for the past twenty years. I have during that time
