REPORT ON INSTRUCTION IN ZOOLOGY. 



By Walter Faxon Assistant Professor of Zoology. 



During the last academic year the instruction was carried on 

 for the most part according to the plan given in detail in my 

 report a year ago. Professor Farlow's absence during the first 

 half of the year, however, caused a reversal of the regular 

 sequence of the Botany and Zoology in the Biological course, 

 which was taken by thirty-nine students, sixteen of whom were 

 Seniors, eleven Juniors, and seven members of the Scientific 

 School. Mr. C. H. Morss assisted in the supervision of the 

 laboratory work. 



In the course in Advanced Zoology the whole year was devoted 

 to the morphology of the Vertebrata. This course was attended 

 by eleven students, — seven Seniors, one Sophomore, one member 

 of the Scientific School, one candidate for the degree of Doctor 

 of Science, and one graduate.
