ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 



REPORT ON THE INSTRUCTION IN ZOOLOGY. 



By Professor E. L. Mark. 



According to the proposal announced in my last Report, the 

 courses in Zoology, till then designated as Zoology 6 and Zoology 

 7 1 , were so expanded as to constitute the equivalent of three full 

 courses, one course and a half being given in alternate years. The 

 courses for the Academic year 1896-97 are designated as Courses 

 11 and 16 1 ; those for the coming year will be 10 and 15 1 . Other- 

 wise there was no considerable change in the work of the 

 Department. 



The number of students from the various schools and classes in 

 each of the courses in Zoology for the past year is given, as usual, 

 in the accompanying table.

Two large rooms on the second floor of the Museum, vacated by 

 Dr. Wolff at the beginning of the Academic year, were assigned by 

 the Curator to the Department of Zoology. One of these, the east 

 room (No. 5), was converted into a lecture room and a laboratory 

 for students engaged in research, being fitted up with tables and 

 the necessary appliances. This furnished accommodations for the 

 overflow from room No. 4, which had been temporarily provided for 

 in the previous year by the liberality of the late Professor Whit- 

 ney, who had surrendered for the year 1895-96 his lecture room 

 on the first floor to the Department of Zoology for this purpose.
