REPORT. 



To the President and Fellows of Harvard College : — 



During the past year the usual courses of instruction have heen 

 given at the Museum in the Natural History Laboratories. Those 

 in Zoology were given by Professor Mark, Doctors Davenport, 

 Wood worth, and Parker, and Mr. H. V. Neal, assisted in the 

 Laboratory work by Messrs. H. R. Linvillc, H. S. Jennings, J. T. 

 Hamaker, J. M. Parker, W. L. Tower, A. Rose, A. S. Hanna, R. W. 

 Hall, and B. S. Oppenheimer. 



Professors Whitney, Shaler, Davis, and Wolff gave courses of 

 instruction in Geology, Palaeontology, Physical Geography, Meteo- 

 rology, and Petrography. The Assistants in these Departments 

 were Messrs. Robert Tracy Jackson, J. B. Woodworth, R. De- 

 Courcey Ward, Leon S. Griswold, R. A. Daly, C. L. Whittle, 

 F. C. Schrader, and T. A. Jaggar, Jr. The courses in Mining Geol- 

 ogy and allied subjects were given by Prof. H. L. Smyth. 



For the details of these courses of instruction, as well as of the 

 summer courses in Geology, I would refer to the accompanying 

 special reports of the Professors and Instructors. 



The Newport Marine Laboratory has, as usual, been open to 

 advanced students in Zoology. Eight students spent a part of 

 their time in the Laboratory collecting material for their special 

 investigations, which they will continue and prepare for publication 

 in Professor Mark's Laboratory at the Museum. From want of 

 funds and for other reasons the Museum Table at the Naples 

 Zoological Station has been given up. 



We have to thank Commander Brice, United States Fish Com- 

 missioner, for the facilities granted to our students in connection 

 with their work at the Fish Commission Station at Wood's Hole. 



The income of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship was used 

 according to the terms of the gift.
