To the President and Fellows of Harvard College: — 



During the past academic year the regular courses in Zoology 

 and Geology were given in the Natural History Laboratories of 

 the Museum. Eight courses in Zoology were given by Professors 

 Mark, Jackson, Parker, and Dr. Castle, assisted by Messrs. Breed, 

 Crawley, and Ordway. These courses were attended by two hun- 

 dred and seventy-six students. Six courses in Zoology were given 

 to forty-two students of Radcliffe College. 



Thirteen courses under the Department of Geology were given 

 by Professors Shaler, Davis, Jackson, Ward, Drs. Jaggar and 

 Daly, and Mr. J. B. Wood worth, assisted by Messrs. Boutwell and 

 Burr. These courses were attended by five hundred and twenty- 

 eight students. Eight courses in Geology were given to thirty-six 

 students of Radcliffe. 



The Summer School of Geology, which is held in the Museum, 

 offered four courses, in which seventy-eight students were enrolled. 

 The school was conducted by Professor Davis and Messrs. J. B. 

 Woodworth and Woodman, assisted by Mr. Burr. 



A noticeable thing in the reports of the Natural History Labora- 

 tories is the large number of students in these departments that 

 have been called to positions in other colleges and universities 

 or have been connected with the national and State geological 

 surveys. The activity of the laboratories is also expressed by the 

 number and quality of the publications by students in them. 

 During the past year fifteen contributions from the Zoological 

 Laboratory have been published, five of which appeared in the 

 Bulletin of the Museum. 



Chief among the changes and repairs have been the introduc- 

 tion of water into the extreme eastern end of the building in 

 the rooms assigned to the assistants in Entomology and Verte-
