It will be observed that most of the lectures on the preceding 

 list were given during the Regents' Weeks in January and June. At 

 these times the pupils from nine high schools came to the Museum 

 not only for a lecture but also for definite laboratory work in the ex- 

 hibition halls, the following halls being used most: Habitat Groups 

 of North American Birds, North American Forestry, Public Health, 

 Insects, Habitat Groups of Reptiles, and Darwin Hall.
