To the President and Fellows of Harvard College : — 



During the Academic year 1915-1916, most of the instruction in 

 Zoology, Geology, and Geography offered in Harvard University 

 and in Radcliffe College was given in the Laboratories and Lecture 

 Rooms of the Museum. 



In Zoology, twenty courses or half courses were taken by 377 

 students in Harvard University and eight courses or half courses 

 were taken by 65 students in Radcliffe College. 



In 1914-1915 these courses and students were: — 



Harvard: — 20 courses, 472 students. 



Radcliffe: — 10 courses, 164 students. 



In Geology and Geography there were twenty-seven courses 

 or half courses offered in Harvard University, and five courses in 

 Radcliffe College. In Harvard University 515 students were 

 enrolled and in Radcliffe College 49 students. 



In 1914-1915 the courses and students completing the same 

 were: — 



Harvard: — 26 courses, 461 students. 



Radcliffe: — 8 courses, 78 students. 



Though less field-work than usual has been carried on personally 

 by members of the Museum staff during the year, the generous 

 assistance of interested friends has resulted in the addition of 

 many valuable collections. 



The ever-ready aid of Col. John E. Thayer enabled Mr. G. K. 

 Noble to visit Newfoundland, and his three months' (June- 

 September, 1915) work there, devoted chiefly to the avifauna, 

 brought together a considerable series of bird skins, and a smaller 

 series of mammals, and of land and fresh-water invertebrates. 

 Mr. C. F. Batchelder, who has a large series of Newfoundland 

 bird skins in his private collection, is cooperating with Messrs. 

 Bangs and Noble in the preparation of an extensive report upon 

 the birds of Newfoundland. Mr. Noble's work in Newfoundland 

 was facilitated by the courtesy of the Game and Inland Fisheries
