REPORT OF THE PROFESSOR OF ETHNOLOGY AND 
ARCHAEOLOGY. 
Owing to my absence in the late winter and spring of the current 
year, the usual course of lectures was omitted, compensation for

present season. 
No important additions have been received in the collections of 
these departments, though it would be easy to acquire large acces¬ 
sions were proper space for their display available. This we may 
expect at an early date in the new building. 
Respectfully submitted, 
D. G. Brinton, 
Professor of Ethnology and Archaeology. 
REPORT OF THE PROFESSOR OF INVERTEBRATE 
ZOOLOGY.

having a leave of absence, he spent the winter of 1888-1889 on

and he hopes soon to have them all ready for presentation. Owing 
to his absence from Philadelphia he was unable to deliver any 
lectures during the past year. 
It is proposed to give a course of five lectures during the spring 
of the coming year on “ The Caribbean Islands.”
