During the year 1894-95 there was an increase over the pre- 

 ceding year in the number of students taking Zoology, which was 

 fairly evenly divided among the different courses. 



Zoology 1 was conducted by Dr. C. B. Davenport, without ma-

 Assistants were: Chief Assistant, Mr. H. V. Neal ; Sub-Assist- 

 ants, Messrs. S. K. Fenollosa, J. M. Prather, and F. H. Pratt. 

 The limit of accommodations in laboratory work in this course has 

 been reached, and any further increase in numbers will have to be 

 met by providing a supplementary room for the excess. 



Dr. G. H. Parker had charge of Zoology 2, and his Assistant 

 was Mr. H. S. Jennings. The animals studied and the laboratory 

 methods pursued were substantially as in former years. 



Dr. Parker also conducted Zoology 3, as in the year 1893-94. 

 He was assisted in the laboratory work by Mr. W. B. Cannon. 

 The only considerable change in the laboratory work was an in- 

 crease in the time given to special-topic work from four weeks to 

 six weeks. In connection with this course a paper was prepared 

 by Dr. Parker and Mr. R. Floyd on the Preservation of Mamma-
