REPORT ON THE INSTRUCTION IN ZOOLOGY. 



By E. L. Mark. 



At the beginning of the year 1893-94 the corps of instructors 

 in the Zoological Department was increased. This has made it 

 possible to oiler to students additional courses, and to give more 

 time to the supervision of those engaged in special researches. 



The following table exhibits the courses and the number of 

 students of the different classes attending each during the year.

During the past year Dr. C. B. Davenport has had charge of 

 Zoology 1 in addition to Zoology 2 and a new half-course, Zoology 

 6. The course in Zoology 2 will be given during the coming year 

 by Dr. G. Bf. Parker, and the new course by Dr. Davenport in 

 Experimental Morphology will then be a full course extending 

 through the entire year. 



The elementary course in Zoology (Zool. 1) was assumed for the 

 first time by Dr. Davenport. The course, though pursuing in gen- 

 eral the plan previously adopted, was slightly modified in its details. 

 In the lectures more attention was given to Distribution and to Gen- 

 eral Physiology than formerly, and in the laboratory work less time 

 was spent upon the tissues of higher animals and more upon such 

 topics as these ; Illustrations of the principles of classification ; The
