REPORT. 



To the President and Fellows of Harvard College: — 



During the past academic year the regular courses in Zoology, 

 Geology, Geography, and Meteorology were given in the Natural 

 History Laboratories of the Zoological Section (Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology) of the University Museum. It was hoped that 

 the new southwest corner piece, the Geological Section, would be 

 completed, so that the departments of Geology, Geography, and 

 Meteorology would take possession, at the beginning of this 

 academic year, of the laboratories and lecture rooms provided for 

 them, and vacate the rooms now occupied, which are much 

 needed by the Department of Zoology. As the building has not 

 been completed, the routine work of instruction will begin as 

 before. 



Ten courses in Zoology were given by Professors Mark, Jackson, 

 Parker, Drs. Castle and Rand, assisted by Messrs. Breed, Davis, 

 Johnson, Ordway, and five Sub-Assistants. These courses were 

 attended by two hundred and thirty-one students. Six courses 

 in Zoology were given to forty-two students of Radcliffe College. 



Eighteen courses under the Geological Department, were given 

 by Professors Shaler, Davis, Jackson, Ward, J. B. Woodworth, 

 Drs. Jaggar, Daly, and Mr. Woodman, assisted by Messrs. Boyn- 

 ton, Stone, Wilder, and five Sub-Assistants. The courses were 

 attended by five hundred and forty-eight. Six courses were given 

 to thirty-six students of Radcliffe College. 



The Summer School of Geology, held in the Museum, was 

 attended by thirty-three students in two courses, given by Mr. 

 H. T. Burr, assisted by Mr. C. H. Morrill. 



In recognition of his long service in successful administration 

 of the instruction in Zoology under the Faculty of Arts and 

 Sciences, Professor E. L. Mark has been appointed by the Cor- 

 poration of the University Director of the Zoological Laboratory.
