REPORT ON THE INSTRUCTION IN ZOOLOGY. 



By E. L. Mark. 



The courses of instruction in Zoology have been the same in 

 their general scope during the past year as in the year 1890-91, 

 but the courses formerly conducted by Dr. G. H. Parker have 

 been carried on by Dr. C. B. Davenport. 



As will be seen from the accompanying table, there were 

 one hundred and ten students in Zoology 1. The First Assist- 

 ant in the course was Mr. H. M. Kelly, the Second Assistant 

 Mr. J. C. Hubbard. 



Dr. Davenport had the assistance of Mr. W. S. Nickerson in 

 the laboratory work of Zoology 2, in which there were forty- 

 five students. 



Zoology 3 was conducted by Dr. Davenport alone, there being 

 nineteen students in the course. 



There were seven students, principally Graduates and Seniors, 

 in each of the Courses 4 and 5. Dr. Wood worth, who has been 

 appointed Instructor in Microscopical Anatomy, in addition to 

 assisting in the laboratory work of both these courses, delivered a 

 part of the lectures in Zoology 4. 



Dr. Slade proposes in the future to make his course in Osteol- 

 ogy (Zoology 10) a research course for advanced students, and 

 it will hereafter be designated as Zoology 20c. 



Of the nine students pursuing special work (Zoology 20a), 

 two received at the last Commencement the degree of Doctor 

 of Philosophy. 



The number of students from the separate classes in each of 

 the zoological courses is given in the following table : —
