sum of five thousand dollars, given in memory of his son, Willard 

 Peele Hunnewell, of the Class of 1904. By a vote of the Museum 

 Faculty the income of this fund will be employed for the purchase 

 of books on Entomology. 



Eight numbers of the 8< Bulletin " were issued during the 

 year, comprising 383 pages and 74 plates. No numbers of the 

 " Memoirs " were published. The issues of the " Bulletin " include 

 Dr. Stejneger's descriptions of lizards, No. XXV1IL, "Albatross" 

 expedition of 1891, and Mr. Andrew's report on his work for Mr. 

 Agassiz on the geology of the Fiji Islands (Vol. XXXVIII. , Geol. 

 Ser., Vol. V.) ; two numbers of the " Bulletin " were Contributions 

 from the Zoological Laboratory under Professor Mark. By a vote 

 of the Faculty of the Museum an annual appropriation from the 

 funds of the Museum was made toward publishing in the " Bul- 

 letin " original work of the officers and students in the department 

 of Geology. Three such papers were published, in the fifth volume 

 of the Geological Series of the "Bulletin," after a lapse of some years 

 the department of Geology again taking part in the publications 

 of the Museum. Mr. Frank Springer's Memoir on Uintacrinus is 

 nearly ready for distribution, and several reports of Mr. Agassiz's 

 " Blake," "Albatross," and " Tropical Pacific" Expeditions are in 

 the hands of the printer. Volumes of XXXV1L, XXXVIIL, and 

 XXXIX of the " Bulletin" and XXV., XXVI., and XXVII. of 

 the " Memoirs " are in course of publication. Other publications 

 dealing wholly or in part with collections of the Museum are : 

 Jules Bonnier's Epicaridae (Trav. Sta. Zool. Wimereux), Gamble 

 and Ashworth's Arenicolidas (Quar. Jour. Micr. Sci.) and G. M. 

 Allen's Louisiana Deer (Amer. Naturalist). 



The Faculty of the Museum has granted me leave of absence for 

 the winter to accompany Mr. Agassiz on his proposed expedition to 

 the Maldive Islands. The islands of the Indian Ocean are the only 

 groups of atolls remaining which Mr. Agassiz has not examined 

 in his explorations for the study of coral formations. He has 

 chartered a steamer from the British India Company which is to 

 meet him at Colombo, Ceylon. It is expected that the work will 

 occupy about two months.
