ANNUAL RE POET OF THE 



Jennings and Mr. Herbert V. Neal. The titles of their theses 

 appear in the list of forthcoming Contributions from the Zoo- 

 logical Laboratory. The thesis of a candidate for the degree 

 of Doctor of Science, Mr. Alfred G. Mayer, was received and 

 approved, and Mr. Mayer was granted leave of absence from the 

 end of February to the close of the College year, in order that lie 

 might accept the invitation of the Curator of the Museum to 

 accompany him in his expedition to Australia. Mr. Mayer's 

 thesis, No. LIX. of the Contributions, has already been printed in 

 the Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Vol. XXIX. No. 5. 



Doctors Jennings and Neal are to continue their zoological 

 studies in Germany, the former as holder of a Parker Fellowship 

 from this University, and Mr. Mayer holds the position of Assist- 

 ant in the Museum in charge of Echinoderms, Polyps, etc. 



The degree of A. M. was conferred on four students whose work 

 was chiefly in the Department of Zoology. 



The generous action of the Corporation of the University in 

 appropriating a sum of money, and the liberality of the Curator 

 of the Museum, have again made it possible to continue the publi- 

 cation of the more important Contributions from the Zoological 

 Laboratory, of which the following twenty numbers have appeared 

 since my last Report : —
