REPORT. 



To The President and Fellows of Harvard College: — 



The Museum is indebted to Mr. George R. Agassiz for a portrait- 

 bust in bronze of his father, Alexander Agassiz ; the bust, heroic in 

 size, the work of Paul Bartlett, perpetuates with exceptional faith- 

 fulness the characteristic dignity and power of Mr. Agassiz. 



Field-work undertaken by, or in the interest of, the Museum, has 

 been carried on in China, the Philippines, Africa, the West Indies, 

 Mexico, and Central and North America. 



Dr. R. V. Chamberlin spent the month of August, 1921, in Utah, 

 collecting, as in recent years, material for a review of the myrio- 

 pod and arachnid fauna of Utah. 



Working in the vicinity of Sebastian, Florida, during the winter 

 and early spring of 1922, Mr. George Nelson secured some inter-

Dr. Thomas Barbour spent the spring of 1922 in eastern Panama, 

 a region largely unexplored zoologically. With the assistance of 

 Messrs. W. S. Brooks and C. L. Underwood, very considerable 

 series of mammals, birds, and reptiles were secured. Dr. Barbour 

 and Mr. Brooks also visited Cuba and Costa Rica. 



Mr. J. L. Peters's work in the West Indies, made possible through 

 the generosity of Dr. Barbour, yielded a representative series of 

 birds and reptiles from the islands of Anguilla, Saint Eustatius, 

 Saint Christopher, and Nevis. 



While engaged in ornithological work in Mexico, Mr. W. W. 

 Brown, Jr. collected on several occasions series of reptiles which 

 Dr. Barbour has added to the ever increasing stores of the depart- 

 ment in his charge. 



For several years Mr. George Schwab has devoted such spare 

 hours as could be taken from his missionary labors in the Cam- 

 eroons, to scientific work. Much of this work has contributed 

 to the increase and value of the Museum's series of African verte- 

 brates. During the present year the Museum has received from
