of great value to the Department, and whose enthusiasm and sym- 

 pathetic guidance were especially appreciated by those advanced 

 students who knew him intimately. His sudden departure made 

 it necessary to withdraw Course 10 and rearrange to some extent 

 the other courses. 



Dr. Parker, who was promoted to be Assistant Professor of 

 Zoology, took charge of Course 1, in addition to Course 15, and 

 gave up Course 3. Dr. Castle resumed his position in charge of 

 Zoology 2 and as Assistant in Courses 4 and 5, and Professor 

 Mark resumed the work he had before taking his " Sabbatical 

 year." Mr. W. B. Cannon was appointed Instructor in Zoology 

 for the year and conducted Course 3. 



The following Table gives the number of students from the 

 various classes in each of the zoological courses, and like infor- 

 mation about students attending corresponding courses in Rad- 

 cliffe College. The total number of students in all zoological 

 courses in Harvard exceeded that of the previous year by about 

 10 per cent.

No material change was made in the time devoted to the 

 various subjects treated of in the lectures in Zoology 1, and the 

 laboratory work was also conducted in the same manner as in 

 previous years. Owing to the size of the class it has for some 

 years been necessary to have three men sit at each table. The 

 microscope boxes have been in the way, if left on the work table 

 during laboratory hours ; relief from the annoyance has been got 

 by providing each chair with a shelf under the seat, where the 

 microscope is kept when not in use and where the box is put 

 while the microscope is in use. Professor Parker had as Chief 

 Assistant in this course Mr. S. R. Williams, who had held the
