REPORT.

To THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE:—

During the Academic year 1909-1910 seventeen courses were
given by Professors Mark, Parker, Wheeler, Castle, Rand, East,
and Mr. Brues to two hundred and ninety-seven students in
Harvard University.

The Assistants in these courses were Messrs. E. A. Boyden,
J. W. Chapman, E. C. Day, John Detlefsen, A. O. Gross, Henry
Laurens, E. C. MacDowell, J. W. Mavor, Sergius Morgulis, and
W. R. B. Robertson.

The Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship was held by Mr. R. A.
Spaeth. The income of the Humboldt Fund aided four students,
three at the Bermuda Station for Research, and one at Bermuda
and at the Museum in Cambridge.

The instruction in Radcliffe College was given by Professors
Mark and Rand assisted by Mr. Sergius Morgulis, and by Mr.
D. W. Davis. Four courses were given to twenty-four students.

The number of courses and of students in 1908-1909 was: —
Harvard, seventeen courses, two hundred and thirty-seven stu-
dents; Radcliffe, five courses, eighteen students.

The instruction in the Department of Geology and Geography
was given by Professors Davis, Wolff, Ward, Palache, Johnson,
and Mr. Lahee assisted by Messrs. J. W. Eggleston, W. P. Haynes,
W. G. Reed, Jr., Sedgwick Smith, and B. M. Varney.

Eighteen courses were taken by two hundred and fifty-five
students in Harvard University and four courses were taken by
twenty-one students of Radcliffe College.

In 1908-1909 the number of courses and of students was:—
Harvard, nineteen courses, three hundred and nine students;
Radcliffe, two courses, twelve students.

The income of the Josiah Dwight Whitney Scholarship Fund
was used to aid students in the Rocky Mountain summer course.

4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

A bronze tablet with the following inscription:—

Museum

and
Laboratories
of
Geology and Geography
erected
By the Children of Louis Agassiz

1901

has been set in the wall of the entrance hall of the southwestern
corner of the University Museum.

The life size portrait of Louis Agassiz painted in 1842 by Fritz
Zuberbihler (1822-1896) has been hung on the east wall of the
northwestern section of the Museum where it is visible alike to
students and to visitors. It comes to the Museum as a gift of the
children of Alexander Agassiz.

Mrs. Henry L. Higginson has given a flag inscribed on one side

Hotel des Neuchatelois
and on the other

Kein Felsen Widersteht
So fest der Mancht der Zeit,
Als festen Willens
Bestaendigkeit

words well known to all familiar with the work of Louis Agassiz
among the glaciers of the Alps. The flag has been placed in the
Geological Museum.

For additions to its year’s income the thanks of the Museum
are due Messrs. Gorham Brooks, Louis Cabot, Theodore Lyman,
and John C. Phillips.

In May, 1907, the Museum installed as a gift of Mr. Agassiz a
model of the coral island Bora Bora, and shortly afterwards Mr.
Agassiz arranged with Mr. George C. Curtis, whose Bora Bora
was so satisfactory a piece of workmanship, for a model of the
classic atoll, Funafuti. |

One of the Ellice Islands, situated in the Middle Pacific, Funa-
futi was selected as an atoll showing an extremely narrow land

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 5

rim with a large lagoon. It had, moreover, the advantage of
having been personally examined by Mr. Agassiz, whose notes,
together with the Report of the Coral Reef Committee of the
Royal Society, furnished Mr. Curtis with the data for his work.

Though Funafuti lacks the scenic beauty of Bora Bora, Mr.
Curtis by his skillful use of color, shows most effectively the depth
of the ocean and the shallowness of the lagoon. The former
is represented by dark blue and the lagoon in varying tints of
blue and green. The atoll rises gently from a depth of 2000
fathoms while the lagoon ranges from four feet to twenty fathoms
in depth. .

For the case in which Funafuti is shown the Museum is in-
debted to Miss E. H. Clark.

From Mr. John E. Thayer’s wise generosity the whole Museum
benefits. Owing to his chief personal interest the greater number
of the additions received from him are birds, but Mr. Thayer’s
liberality and broadmindedness are such that the expeditions he
fosters in unexplored regions yield material for the research col-
lections in all departments.

For the exhibition collections Mr. Thay er has given a magnifi-
cent specimen of the California Vulture mounted with the wings
showing a spread of nearly nine feet. ‘Two other notable additions
to the exhibition collections received from Mr. Thayer are: —
a superb male Reeve’s Pheasant, Syrmaticus reevesii, measuring
six feet, nine and three-fourths inches in length, with the tail
more than five feet six inches long; and a fine Tibetan Takin,
Budorcas tibetanus, a mammal rare in collections and obtained by
Mr. W. R. Zappey in the mountains at Liang How Kow, western
Szechnan. The Pheasant and Takin (Plate 2) were mounted
by the Museum Preparator, Mr. George Nelson.

Drs. William Lord Smith, Glover M. Allen, and Mr. Gorham
Brooks spent about three months, July-September, 1909, in Brit-
ish East Africa collecting in the interests of the Museum. As the
result of their energetic industry and skill the Museum collections
have been enriched with series of small mammals, bird skins, rep-
tiles, amphibians, fishes, and of insects and other invertebrates,
together with about fifty specimens, skins with complete skeletons,
of large game mammals. The generous assistance of Messrs.
Shepherd Brooks and John E. Thayer made possible this African
expedition.

6 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

Additional specimens from British East Africa have been
received from Mr. Childs Frick. Mr. Frick, accompanied by
Mr. W. R. Zappey as his Assistant, hunted in British East Africa
from December, 1909, until March, 1910, and has been so good as
to give the Museum some acceptable invertebrates as well as the
collections of birds and small mammals that he secured. Mr.
Frick’s series is a most useful supplement to the Smith-Allen-
Brooks collection, as it was obtained at a different time of the year.

To Dr. John C. Phillips the Museum owes thanks for an im-
portant collection of skins of Mexican birds. The Museum’s
series of birds from Middle America is an especially large and
valuable one and Dr. Phillips’s gift of over 2,000 skins obtained
principally in Tamaulipas, Mexico, by Mr. George B. Armstrong
fills one of the gaps from which, geographically, material was
most needed.

The Museum is indebted to Miss Elizabeth B. Bryant for many
additions to its series of New England spiders; she has also worked
over portions of the collection of spiders and has given considerable
time to the study and preservation of the same.

Mr. Thomas Barbour has, as in previous years, enhanced the
value of the research collections of reptiles and amphibians by
his gifts of very many rare and valuable species and also by his
voluntary work of identification, together with much of the
attendant museum drudgery. A noteworthy addition received
from him is an excellent specimen of the rare Chinese Alligator,
Alligator sinensis (cf. Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1910, p. 464).
Mr. Barbour’s gifts are not confined, however, to the groups in
which he is especially interested; among much desirable material
he has given a Japanese Serow, Nemorrhaedus crispus, and a
living example of the Bahama Parrot, Amazona bahamensis, a
species whose extinction is probably a matter of a few years only;
important additions to the collections of mammals and birds, of
insects, shells and other invertebrates are included in Mr. Bar-
bour’s various donations.

For a specimen of the rare West African Forest Pig, Hylochoerus
rimator, the Museum has to thank Mr. William Barbour, and for a
number of small Irish mammals mounted for the exhibition
collection similar thanks are due Mr. J. R. T. Mulholland.

The Museum of Zoélogy of the University of Cambridge (Eng-

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. j

land), through Dr. Hans Gadow, has been kind enough to send in
exchange an important series of Hawaiian Honey Creepers, a
series which contains several species hitherto unrepresented in the
collection of the Museum, and also an especially valuable lot of
bones of the extinct Solitaire, Pezophaps solitarius, collected in
Rodriguez by Jenner in 1871. The skeleton as mounted for
exhibition by Mr. Nelson is shown on Plate 3.

For a mounted specimen of the Almique, Solenodon cubanus,
the Museum is indebted to the Havana Institute of Secondary
Education. Especial interest is attached to this specimen as the
label is in the hand of the distinguished Cuban zodlogist, Dr.
Juan Gundlach.

The Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, through its Director, Dr.
W. J. Holland, has presented a plaster restoration of Dinohyus
hollandi, a remarkable giant pig from the Miocene of western
Nebraska. This model is shown in full relief and is the work
of Mr. Theodore A. Mills. Dr. Holland has also kindly sent in
exchange a fine series of fishes, one of the results of explorations
in British Guiana carried on by the Carnegie Museum under the
direction of Prof. C. H. Eigenmann.

The Museum has received another valuable collection of fishes
from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. These specimens are in an
excellent state of preservation and were captured in the Pacific
when Mr. Agassiz was in charge of the U.S. F. C. Steamer “ Alba-
tross”’ during the cruise in the Tropical Pacific in 1899-1900 and
again in 1904-1905, Expedition to the Eastern Tropical Pacific.

The New York Zoélogical Society has continued its policy of
sending to the Museum specimens of reptiles, many of which,
after Mr. Nelson’s skillful taxidermy, supply for exhibition pur-
poses most desirable dry mounts. Its donations this year, for
which the thanks of the Museum are tendered, include among
several others a striking example of the Green Boa, Corallus
caninus, from Surinam, and one of the Bushmaster, Lacheis mutus,
a most venomous snake from Trinidad. The skeleton of the
Bushmaster, prepared by Mr. Nelson, is shown with the mounted
skin.

While engaged in anthropological work for the Peabody Museum
in South and Central America, Prof. W. C. Farabee and Dr. A.

M. Tozzer kindly procured for this Museum some zodlogical

S ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

specimens of value. Dr. Tozzer’s collection included both verte-
brates and invertebrates, while the specimens received from Pro-
fessor Farabee were mostly insects.

Interesting specimens have also been received from Mrs.
Henry Bryant, from Drs. H. B. Bigelow, C. B. Davenport, Walter
Faxon, E. W. Gudger, R. T. Jackson, Theodore Lyman, A. G.
Maver, H. Kk. Oliver, and H. W. Smith, and from Messrs. William
Brewster, Edwin Farrar, E. N. Fischer, C. A. Frost, R. H. Howe,
Jr., R. O. Morris, A. P. Morse, and R. A. Spaeth.

The W. G. Dietz collection of Coleoptera, a valuable accession,
was acquired by purchase. This collection is especially rich in
Rhynchophora, Snout-beetles, from all parts of the world, and
contains more than one hundred specimens which are the types
of species described by Dr. Dietz and others.

It should be mentioned that the Dietz series of Rhynchophora
makes a notable supplement to the Deyrolle collection which was
given to the Museum in 1870 by Mrs. Augustus Hemenway.

Some Green River fossils collected by the late Prof. Leslie A.
Lee of Bowdoin College were bought of Mrs. Lee; among this
collection there are the types of a number of fossil insects described
by S. H. Scudder and two important specimens of fossil fishes
described by E. D. Cope.

Twelve mounted specimens of several forms of the Land tor-
toises of the Galapagos have been purchased of Miss E. E. Hull
and the F. B. Webster Company.

During his studies of fossil Echini, Dr. R. T. Jackson got to-
gether a number of valuable specimens. As the Museum has an
important series in this group, it was glad of the opportunity of
purchasing the Jackson set which contains a number of figured
specimens, casts of types, and types.

Considerable series of bird skins from India, Australia, New
Guinea, New Zealand and from other parts of the world have been
purchased of Messrs. Angell and Cash, W. F. H. Rosenberg, and
S$. F. Denton. From Mr. Denton the Museum has also acquired
mounted fishes for its Systematic, European, and North American
collections. Specially prepared specimens of Medusae have been
bought of the Naples and Woods Hole Laboratories and of Prof.
A. E. Verrill, and additional installments of slides of Rotatoria
have been received from Mr. C. F. Rousselet.

- MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 9

In 1906 the Museum was enabled through the generosity of
Mr. Agassiz to undertake the renovation of all its entrance and
exhibition halls. Since that date a number of the work rooms in
the Museum have, from the Museum’s own resources, undergone
a similar renovation, and during these changes additional safe-
guards against fire, such as resistant doors and windows, have
been introduced. Danger from fire is lessened also by the with-
drawal of alcoholic specimens on exhibition and by the subsitu-
tion of carbon tetrachloride for carbon bisulphide as a preventive
against insect pests. The number of mounted reptiles and fishes
introduced in place of alcoholic specimens of the same has been
very great during recent years. Carbon tetrachloride is less
volatile and less disagreeable to work with than carbon bisul-
phide; to be equally effective, however, it must be used in larger
quantities than is necessary with carbon bisulphide, but it is not
inflammable and notwithstanding its greater cost has proved a
most desirable substitute for carbon bisulphide.

New cases have been built in the exhibition rooms devoted to
the Systematic collections of mammals and of coelenterates,
and in the North American room the three floor cases have been
replaced by one large case, which encloses also the central space
of the gallery of the fourth floor. Additional space for the display
of mammals and birds is afforded by this change. A new wall
case in the North American gallery has also been built.

Mr. Bangs is making good progress in overhauling the study
collection of bird skins, merging the E. A. and O. Bangs series and
the very many skins received in recent years from Mr. John E.
Thayer with the Museum collection, and arranging the entire
series according to the British Museum Hand List. With addi-
tional equipment in the way of cases, this important department
will be in the course of a few years in most satisfactory condition.

In addition to his collecting in British East Africa, Dr. G. M.
Allen has been employed for three days in each week throughout
the year. The condition of the study series of mammals shows
constant improvement as the result of his work, which includes
the identification or reidentification and rearrangement of the
entire series of skins and skulls, together with the labeling and
cataloguing where such work is necessary. Following Troues-
sart’s Catalogue the collection is in order as far as the Muridae.

10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

A part of Dr. Allen’s time is devoted to research, one of the re-
sults of which has been published as Memoirs M. C. Z., vol. 40,
no. 1, Solenodon paradoxus, 54 pages, 9 plates.

To the preparation of specimens for exhibition Mr. Nelson
gives a large part of his time. In addition to those already men-
tioned he has prepared a number of North American snakes and
turtles, among the latter a giant Snapping turtle, Chelydra ser-
pentina, a specimen remarkable not only for its weight, fifty-
four pounds, but for the absolute perfection of its exoskeletal
parts; also a series of West Indian Crows and Troupials. The
collection of North American mammals, the systematic collection
of birds, and the special collections of domesticated animals,
of nests and eggs of birds, and of heads and horns of mammals
all show additions, the result of Mr. Nelson’s work.

Mr. Nathan Banks was employed for two weeks, during which
time he identified and labeled a large part of the collection of
scorpions, and Mr. E. C. Day was engaged for several weeks in
labeling some of the Bryant birds and the Selah Merrill birds and
mammals.

Details of the work accomplished during the year and of addi-
tions to the several departments of the Museum will be found in
the Reports of the Assistants.

To Messrs. Faxon, Brewster, Woodworth, Bangs, Bigelow,
and Sayles the Museum is indebted for the interest they have
taken in the collections under their charge.

The Library contains 46,924 volumes, and 43,367 pamphlets;
1,269 volumes, and 1,559 pamphlets have been added during the
year. For many of the accessions this year the Museum is
indebted to Mr. Outram Bangs, Mr. Henry L. Higginson, Profs.
W. M. Davis, G. L. Goodale and to Dr. W. MeM. Woodworth.

The publications for the year include eight numbers of the

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 11

The grant of $350.— made by the Corporation to aid in the
publication of Contributions from the Zodlogical and Geological
Laboratories has been used for numbers of the Bulletin which
have appeared in volume 53 and for plates to illustrate Professor
Woodworth’s report on his expedition to South America.

After the death in 1896 of Prof. J. D. Whitney, Sturgis Hooper
Professor of Geology from 1865-1896, his sister, Miss Maria
Whitney, took a keen and generous interest in the Museum and
its work. |

Her death on the 19th of January, 1910, is recorded with regret.

The death of Mr. Agassiz on the 27th of March, 1910, takes
from the Museum one whose devoted service of more than fifty
years will never be equalled.

In the first Report of the Director of the Msueum for the year
1859, acknowledgment is made of the receipt of a great number
of specimens from the Pacific Coast of Mexico, the gift of Mr.
Agassiz, at that time an Aid of the U. S. Coast Survey. For the
five years following, Mr. Agassiz’s activities included the care of
the collections of several departments of the Museum, and in those
early days care comprised not only labeling and cataloguing, but
the assortment, distribution and arrangement of large masses of
material; during one or more of these years Mr. Agassiz also at-
tended to the general superintendence of the Museum’s business
and gave courses of instruction which were open both to College
students and to others. For the years 1865-1866, (7th and 8th
Reports), Mr. Agassiz was Assistant in charge, reporting as such
and also on the work done in special departments. From the date
of his return from the Thayer-Brazilian Expedition in 1866 until his
death in December, 1873, Professor Agassiz in all Museum affairs
relied upon the scientific judgment and business capacity of his son.
As the Executive head of the Museum Committee, Mr. Agassiz
made the Reports for the years 1873 and 1874. He was appointed
Curator in 1875 and Director in 1892 and held these offices until
his resignation in September, 1898. Since that date until his
death, he gave ready and hearty support to his successors.

Such in brief are Mr. Agassiz’s official connections with the Mu-
seum of Comparative Zoédlogy, a Museum built, in every sense
of the word, by him; for although the general plan was in the
mind of its founder and in part worked out by him, the initial

12 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

difficulties, due to the lack of rooms and of means, together with
the accumulation of the immense collections which in 1873 over-
flowed the building from roof to basement, prevented Professor
Agassiz from a full realization of his plans.

How well these plans have been carried out by Mr. Agassiz and
with what tenacity of purpose he adhered to them often at a sacri-
fice of personal interest, the Museum is the best witness.

The full extent of Mr. Agassiz’s work for the Museum and of his
great gifts to its collections will be clearly shown in a historical
sketch of the Museum now in course of preparation.

Mr. Agassiz advocated at an early date a distinct field for the
work of a University Museum; he claimed that its province
should in no way compete with that of national, state, or muni-
cipal establishments, but that the maintenance of large collections
by such a Museum, supplemented first by a Zodlogical Station
controlled by the Museum, and secondly by explorations con-
ducted under the direction of the Museum, was vital for the
scientific progress and usefulness of the Museum.

Throughout his life Mr. Agassiz promoted these aims. In some
of its departments the Museum of Comparative Zodélogy offers
unsurpassed facilities for research; the resources of his Newport
laboratory, together with opportunities for work at other labora-
tories, he rendered available for many years, while his furtherance
of exploration and the publication of the scientific results have
brought to the Museum and to the University their greatest dis-
tinction.

Equally pronounced was the policy adopted by Mr. Agassiz
in regard to the display of specimens exhibited to the public. By
the practice in vogue in most museums in 1875, large numbers of
specimens, many of them merely duplicates, were arranged in
single crowded series. Mr. Agassiz limited his general collection
to selected typical forms and followed his father’s plan of showing
fossils, recent forms, and skeletons together.

In his Report for 1875 Mr. Agassiz wrote:— “The great defect
of museums in general is the immense number of articles exhibited,
compared with the small space taken to explain what is shown.* * *
The need of general labels, and a small number of specimens
properly selected to illustrate the labels, would go far towards
making a museum intelligible,” and he thus maintained an im-

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 13

portant principle in museum organization which has been sup-
ported by Goode and Flower and is to-day quite generally adopted.

In 1883, or ten years after Mr. Agassiz assumed the care of
the Museum, he was able to report that the building had been
doubled in size and that the invested funds for the maintenance of
the Museum had been increased over three fold. Both results
were largely due to him. The uses of the several rooms noted
by Mr. Agassiz at that time were not essentially different from
those that prevail to-day. |

Along with the systematic exhibit, Mr. Agassiz built up the
geographic one, and increased the facilities for research by the
acquisition of extensive collections, which were conveniently
stored and made accessible to all able to make proper use of them.

The difficulties of a geographic exhibit are well recognized;
none of the great museums of the world, those of London, Paris,
or Berlin, have attempted such an exhibit, and there are but two
in Europe that have done so, both of which, one in Dublin and the
other in Dresden, are on a comparatively small scale. And yet
so successfully and with so true a sense of proportion did Mr.
Agassiz develop the whole Museum that the distinguished English
naturalist Wallace stated in 1887 that as an educational institu-
tion for the public, for students, and for the special investigator
the Museum of Comparative Zoélogy was superior to the British
Museum and “probably equally in advance of every European
Museum.”

Mr. Agassiz’s eminence as a Museum Director is secure and
his standards of work will always be an incentive to those who
follow him.

14 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT ON THE ZOOLOGICAL LABORATORY.

By E. L. Marx.

Instruction in Zoélogy has suffered by the temporary discon-
tinuance of the courses in Palaeontology. Professor Jackson’s
enthusiastic presentation of his subject will not readily be for-
gotten by those who had the privilege of his instruction. The
only other change in the staff is the appointment of Mr. C. T.
Brues, who took the place of Mr. Paul Hayhurst as Instructor in
Economic Entomology.

The accompanying tables show the’ number of students in
each of several classes who attended each of the courses in Zodélogy.
The first table relates to courses in Harvard University, the second
to those in Radcliffe College.

The only courses in which there were changes were 4, 11, and 12.
Professor Rand took entire charge of Course 4, and Professor Mark
gave a new half-course — “Zodlogy 12, Cytology, with special
reference to Heredity.” 'The half-course on “Variation, Heredity,
and the Principles of Animal Breeding’’ announced as Zoélogy 11
by Professor Castle was altered so as to cover Plant Breeding,
and was given jointly by Professor Castle and Assistant Professor
East of the Department of Botany.

Zodlogy 1 was given as usual by Professor Parker, whose chief
assistant was Mr. E. C. Day, Austin Teaching Fellow. The
sub-assistants were Messrs. J. W. Chapman, A. O. Gross, H.
Laurens, J. W. Mavor, and W. R. B. Robertson.

In Zoélogy 2, given by Professor Castle, the chief assistant was
Mr. J. Detlefsen, Austin Teaching Fellow. The sub-assistant
was Mr. E. C. MacDowell.

Assistant Professor Rand gave Zoélogy 3 substantially as in
previous years. The assistants were Messrs. E. A. Boyden and
J. W. Mavor. Three graduates not enrolled in the course at-
tended the lectures.

Zoélogy 4 was given by Assistant Professor Rand, who had
as assistant Mr. S. Morgulis, Austin Teaching Fellow.’ The
lectures covered the same topics as in previous years when given
by Professor Mark, and the laboratory work was also substan-
tially the same as previously.

Zoology 5b (formerly 6) was conducted in the main as in 1907-
1908, most attention being given to the development of the central
nervous system. Mr. S. Morgulis was assistant in this course
also.

16 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

The lectures in Zoélogy 7a, 7b, 7c, and 11-were given at the
Museum of Comparative Zoélogy, the laboratory and field work
in these courses at the Bussey Institution. Courses 7a and 7)
were given by Professor Wheeler with the assistance of Mr. C.
T. Brues; 7c by Mr. Brues.

The laboratory work in Zoélogy 11 was based partly on zoé-
logical, partly on botanical material. The course was conducted
jointly by Professor Castle and Assistant Professor East.

In Zoédlogy 14a, conducted by Professor Parker, students were,
as usual, assigned topics for research or thesis work. Five wrote
theses. ‘Two students not enrolled attended the lectures.

The lectures in Zoélogy 17, by Assistant Professor Rand,
followed the same plan as the year before, but their content was
considerably changed, more time being given to experimental
embryology and less to regeneration. The results of work on
some of the laboratory problems will be presented for publication
later.

For the first time since instruction in Zoélogy was offered to
students in Radcliffe College, the elementary courses have been
put in charge of a person not an instructor in Harvard. The
department was fortunate in securing Mr. D. W. Davis to take
charge of Zoédlogy 1 and 2. Since his graduation from Harvard
College in 1905 Mr. Davis has been engaged in teaching, and his
management of these two courses has been very satisfactory.

Professor Mark gave the lectures in Zoélogy 5b (Radcliffe), the
laboratory work being under the general supervision of Assistant
Professor Rand, who had as assistant Mr. S. Morgulis.

Twenty-one graduate students and one undergraduate were
engaged in researches, eleven under the direction of Professor
Mark, four under Professor Parker, two under Professor Wheeler
at the Bussey Institution, three under Professor Castle extending
through the whole year, at the Bussey Institution, and two under
Assistant Professor Rand. Of these twenty-two persons, two
were graduate students of Radcliffe College. Three presented
theses for the doctor’s degree, and received the degree of Ph.D.
The thesis of Edith N. Buckingham was on “The division of
labor among ants,” that of Sergius Morgulis was entitled “ Studies
of inanition in its bearing on the problem of growth,’ and that of
William A. Willard “ The cranial nerves of Anolis carolinensis.”

Four students received aid from the income of the Humboldt
Fund to the amount of $238.60 while working at the Bermuda
Station.

Professor W. M. Chester of Colgate University, student in
the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, was appointed Assistant
Director of the Bermuda Biological Station for Research for the
summer session of 1910. The Station was opened June 17, and
closed August 2. Seven persons were enrolled, all except one
connected with Harvard University. Professor Mark was obliged
to leave the Station the middle of July, after which the manage-
ment was in the hands of the Assistant Director.

The 8th International Zoélogical Congress, held in Graz, Austria,
was attended by Professor Mark, who presented a joint paper
with Dr. J. A. Long, and announced two demonstrations, the
result of joint work with two graduate students, S. S. Berry
and R. A. Spaeth. Of the 139 papers and demonstrations an-
nounced on the programme of the Congress twenty-nine were by
Americans, and of these, ten were by persons now or formerly con-
nected with the Zodlogical Department.

During November and December Professor Parker delivered
a course of eight lectures at the Lowell Institute in Boston, on
“The human sense organs.”

Much of Professor Wheeler’s time and that of his assistant,
Mr. W. Reiff, has been devoted to a field study of the wilt disease
of the Gypsy Moth.

In July Professor Castle delivered a course of lectures on heredity
and animal breeding at the Graduate School of Agriculture, which
held its fourth biennial session at Ames, Iowa, under the auspices
of the Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Sta-
tions. He has had the assistance of Research Fellow Dr. J. C.
Phillips in research work.

The Zodlogical Club held twenty-three meetings, at which
there were presented twenty original papers and twelve reviews.
The average attendance was between fourteen and fifteen.

20) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT OF THE STURGIS HOOPER PROFESSOR
OF GEOLOGY.

By W. M. Davis.

During the past academic year, my teaching included a half
course on the Physiography of Europe, for undergraduates and
graduates, in the second half year, and an advanced course of
research in Physiography, primarily for graduates, running
through the year. Both courses were attended by a disappoint-
ingly small number of students.

My personal work was directed almost wholly to the revision
of the lectures on the Explanatory description of land forms, given
in the University of Berlin in the winter of 1908-1909, and in
the preparation of a large number of drawings for their illustration,
with the intention of publishing them in Germany. This work
was undertaken with the idea of extending in time and place what-
ever impression of American geographical methods the lectures
themselves may have produced. An interruption was caused by
the preparation and delivery of a course of lectures in the Lowell
Institute, Boston, in January, on the “Greater lessons of
geology.”

An intercollegiate geological and geographical excursion was
organized under my direction for the April recess to Catskill,
N. Y., a ground familiar from many earlier spring and summer
excursions some years ago. It was attended by some thirty
persons, including teachers and students from the Institute of
Technology, Yale, Columbia, St. Lawrence, and Rutgers, as well
as Harvard. During July I conducted a small party in a summer
course of physiographic field work: in the Rocky mountains of
Colorado, where we found many features of interest, a report on
which is in preparation. A series of “Notes on the description
of land forms”? has been begun for publication in the Bulletin
of the American Geographical Society, with a view of calling
attention particularly to the methods employed in such descrip-
tions, as well as to the facts described. :

2? ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
AND GEOGRAPHY.

By Rospert DEC. Warp.

The Department has had a successful year in its teaching, its
general activities, and in the gifts which have been received. The
omission of the courses in Palaeontology is, however, a serious
handicap to the work of the Department. Messrs. J. W. Eggle-
ston, W. P. Haynes, F. H. Lahee, W. G. Reed, Jr., S. Smith, and
B. M. Varney were assistants during the year.

Mention was made in last year’s Report of the welcome anony-
mous gift of $5,000. towards the maintenance of a summer field
course in geology in the western mountain region of North Amer-
ica. This gift has been increased to $10,000., the donor being
Mr. Robert Wilcox Sayles, of the Class of 1901. The income of
the fund puts the western summer course upon a permanent basis
and releases the funds which of late years have been devoted to
this course. The gift is one of the most useful which this Depart-
ment has ever received. Mr. Sayles further gave the sum of
$350., for current expenses of this course in 1910. Another wel-
come gift, of $300., was received from Mrs. W. S. Fitz, Mrs. H. S.
Grew, and Mrs. Edward Wigglesworth, for a wall case, which
has been installed in the Geological Museum, and is used for the
permanent exhibition of photographs from the Gardner Collection.
It has hitherto been impossible to make adequate public exhibition
of the valuable materials belonging to this Collection. Mr.
Edward Wigglesworth was appointed Curator of the Gardner
Collection at the beginning of the year, and has given a great
deal of time, with the assistance of Mr. G. M. Flint, to cataloguing,
systematizing, and extending the Collection, which can now be
much more effectively used than ever before. The activity and
the support of the new Curator of this Collection have been of
great help to the Department.

The principal additions were as follows: — 89 slides of the
Italian Riviera made from negatives of Prof. W. M. Davis; 48
slides of fossils and restorations, secured through Prof. W. M.
Davis; 33 slides of the Canadian Rockies, the gift of Mr. R. W.
Sayles; 70 Japanese slides, the gift of Mr. E. G. Stillman through
Mr. Sayles; 110 Asiatic slides from negatives of Dr. E. Hunting-
ton, and 22 unmounted photographs of volcanoes and South
American views, purchased and presented to the collection by
Mr. E. Wigglesworth. Ten large photographs were framed and
put on exhibition.

During the afternoons of two weeks in January, 1910, the
Harvard Seismographic Station and the Students’ Meteoro-
logical Observatory were opened to officers and students of the
University. The working of the instruments was explained by
members of the Department to a considerable number of visitors.
At the same time there was a public exhibition of the new model
of the temperatures of Boston, the construction of which was
mentioned in last year’s Report, and also of a selected series of
photographs of New Zealand scenery from the Gardner Collection.

The sub-committee on the Josiah Dwight Whitney Scholarship
reports that $100. was awarded to Donald C. Barton, and $100.
to Joseph Murdoch, both members of the Junior Class and stu-
dents in the Rocky Mountain summer course, and that the balance
of the income was placed at the disposal of Professor Davis to

assist students working under his direction in the Rocky Moun-
tains.

No student took the research course in Meteorology, 20f, with
Professor Rotch, and his time was occupied in directing the work
of the Blue Hill Observatory.

In addition to his regular courses (Geology B, 1, 2, 19, 20e),
Professor Ward gave three lectures on the geography of South
America in the course, “Business 14.’’ Under the general direc-
tion of Professor Ward, Mr. William G. Reed, Jr., Assistant in
Meteorology, spent much time in the equipment of the Students’
Meteorological Observatory, in regulating the instruments, and
in taking regular observations. The Station is now well equipped
with most of the ordinary instruments, and gives opportunity
for effective work on the part of students. Several investigations
carried on by members of the course in Advanced Climatology
have been published, as follows: “The study of phenomenal
climatology’? and “South American rainfall types,” by W. G.
Reed, Jr. (Quart. journ. Roy. met. soc., January, 1910, vol. 36,
No. 153, p. 39-47; 49-59); ‘“‘Model of the chrono-isotherms of
Boston, Mass., U. S. A.” (Ibid., April, 1910, p. 181-184) and
“The temperature conditions of Boston, Mass.’”’ (Monthly weath.
rev., June, 1910, vol. 38, No. 6, p. 973-976), by Andrew H. Palmer.
Professor Ward spent part of the summer in Brazil, making a
study of the economic climatology of the Sao Paulo coffee district.

With the assistance of Professors Davis and Wolff, Professor
Woodworth gave the lectures in Geology 4, and also conducted
courses 8, 16 and 20c. Two half-courses in elementary geology
were given, in the Museum, to students in Radcliffe College.
Professor Woodworth, with the assistance of Mr. J. W. Eggleston,
gave the summer course in field geology in Montana, which was
completed by 17 students. Mr. G. M. Flint accompanied the
party as collector. Professor Woodworth has devoted consider-
able time to the completion of reports on field work, and to the
management of the Seismographic Station. A small collection of
Middle Cambrian trilobites was purchased.

Professor Johnson gave courses A, 9, 10, and, in coéperation
with Professor Davis, 20a. In the summer he supervised the
field work of Mr. N. J. Bond, who made a five-weeks’ study of
shoreline changes in the Quincy-Hingham area. Under the

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 20

auspices of the Teachers’ School of Science a course of fifteen
lectures and laboratory exercises on the Geography of the United
States was given to a class of over one hundred teachers. During
the Spring recess Professor Johnson conducted a party of seventeen
students and teachers, representing eight New England and New
York educational institutions, on an excursion in the Catskill
Mountains. A two-days’ excursion to Cape Cod was partici-
pated in by seven students.

During the first half-year the work in Geology 12, conducted
by Mr. F. H. Lahee, consisted of the mapping and study of the
geology of an area, and, in the second half-year, of special field
problems. Mining 28, a half course in field geology and geological
surveying given to students in the Division of Mining and Metal-
lurgy, was completed by ten students. In the April Recess a
small party of graduates and undergraduates, under the direction
of Mr. Lahee, studied the structure and stratigraphy of selected
localities in the vicinity of Catskill, N. Y. Mr. Lahee devoted

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT ON THE HARVARD
SEISMOGRAPHIC STATION.

By J. B. WoopwortTu.

The accompanying tabulated list of earthquakes and seismic
disturbances (pages 28-33) recorded at this Station continues the
list printed in the Report for the year 1908-09 (pages 30-31).

In the record of August 13, 1908, 7 Pp. M. and 8 p. M. should be
substituted for the hours 8 and 9 respectively, according to the
Albany records. (Rept. 1908-1909, p. 30.)

Altitude of Station: The elevation of the Station was provision-
ally determined in 1908 as7 meters. In December, 1909, Mr. C. H.
Paige of the Department of Engineering accurately determined
the altitude of the center of the steady masses by reference to the
local bench marks as 5.367 meters or 17.61 feet above mean half-
tide. The middle of a black line painted on the south wall of the
instrument room has this elevation.

Instrumental constants: The period of complete oscillation of
the pendulums as set up is frequently tested with the needles
tracing in the smoked paper. At the last determination the
pendulum 59A had a mean period of 25. secs; 59B 27.5 secs.
With these periods using the formula

T=2 (alt which gives

(2) the angle of stability for the horizontal pendulum 59A was
determined to be 5/28” of arc; 59B, 9’ 59.57” of are.

Mr. Stephen Royce in November, 1909, made the following
measurements of the Bosch-Omori tromometer No. 59 A. & B., to
which other data are appended : —

There are 352 milled divisions on edges of head-stocks for ad-
justing period of pendulums; and the crossbar carrying same has
two threads to 1 mm. The horizontal displacement of the upper
point of support for each turn of one division of milled edge of
head-stock thus equals 0.00284 cm.

The geographical position of the Station as determined by
Professor Willson is L. 42° 22’ 36” N., Long. 71°6’59” W. from
Greenwich.

The orientation of the two components as determined from the
meridian carried into the instrument room by Mr. Burke is as

from Sept. 8, 1909, to July 29, 1910.

N.B. These records are from undamped pendulums and the times of maximum
motion and range of the pendulums cannot be taken as the basis for the calculation
of the motion of an earth particle.

follows: Pendulum 59B pointing northward, N. 3°38/ 24” E.
Pendulum 59A pointing eastward, N. 93°38’ 24” E.

Since the last Report a helpful exchange of data including the
times of principal phases of seismic motion for recorded quakes
has been established with the stations at Albany, N. Y., Ottawa,
Canada, Cleveland, O., and Seattle, Wash.

The time at the Station has throughout the year been obtained
by telephonic comparison with Harvard Observatory. Mr.
George M. Flint has performed the ordinary routine work of the
instrument room except on Sundays and holidays when I have set
up the recording drums. During the summer vacation Mr.
Holmes, the janitor, maintained a satisfactory service.

designed to facilitate the work of ascertaining the epicenter of
distant quakes, is based upon the determination of the distance

by Laska’s rules I and II. By Rule I, the distance in mega-
meters is equal to the difference in minutes between the times of
arrival of the Ist and 2nd preliminaries, minus 1; by Rule II,
the difference between the times of arrival of the Ist preliminary
and the main or long waves in minutes is three times the distance
in megameters. For ascertaining the distance by the chart,
where the Ist and 2nd preliminaries are known, find their differ-
ence in minutes and parts of a minute (seconds or tenths); enter
the table at the bottom on the line of minutes, and above in the
line of megometers or miles as desired will be found the distance
by Laska’s Rule I. If the distance in degrees of arc is desired,
follow the vertical line up to the line of Degrees of are. To
obtain the distance according to Laska’s Rule I with Benndorf’s
Corrections, enter the table as before, and follow the oblique
lines which will give the best reading. To obtain the distance
by Rule II, enter the table above at the line marked Laska’s
Rule II; follow down to the lines of miles or kilometers as before.

To obtain the time of the earthquake at the epicenter, find the
distance by the rules as given, and follow up to the top lines
where the nearest figure will give the amount in minutes and
hundredths to be subtracted from the time of arrival of the Ist
or 2nd preliminary as may be required. In the blank space the
names of countries, seismic areas, or cities may be entered at their
appropriate distances from the Station at which the chart is used.

36 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT ON THE BIRDS.

By Wi_Lu1AM BREWSTER.

The most important collection of birds received is that which
Dr. John C. Phillips has given to the Museum. It contains
upwards of two thousand skins. Most of these were obtained
in eastern Mexico by the well-known professional collector F. B.
Armstrong who traversed Tamaulipas from the Texas border
almost to Vera Cruz. To Mr. John E. Thayer we are indebted
for some six or seven hundred birds from various localities, in-
cluding certain of the islands off the coast of California. Other
acceptable gifts have been received from Messrs. G. M. Allen,
Thomas Barbour, Gorham Brooks, Childs Frick, R. H. Howe, Jr.,
F. W. Putnam, H. H. Smith, and W. L. Smith. A few specimens
have been sent in exchange to the National Museum and a con-
siderable number have been loaned for study.

REPORT ON THE REPTILES, BATRACHIANS, AND FISHES.
By SAMUEL GARMAN.

Two large additions to the collections of fishes have been re-
ceived, one from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, consisting of a
series of pelagic and shore fishes, not including any of those
commonly described as deep sea fishes, secured during Mr. Agas-
siz’s researches in the Pacific Ocean; the other from the Carnegie
Museum, Pittsburgh, contains a set collected in British Guiana
by Professor Eigenmann and his aids. Other contributions were
received from Messrs. Thomas Barbour, William Brewster,
S. M. Johnson and A. P. Morse. Purchases of mounted speci-
mens have made large additions to the material in the exhibition
rooms. Central American specimens were purchased of Mr.
Wm. B. Richardson. A number of large serpents, some tortoises,
and a caiman were presented by the New York Zoological Society.
The tortoises loaned to Mr. Walter Rothschild for study have been
returned and the purchase of a series of mounted specimens, some
of them among the largest yet known, has greatly increased the
Museum’s representation of the Testudinata of the Galapagos
Islands. By means of exchanges with the Museum Sencken-
bergianum important series of reptiles and batrachians from
Africa, Madagascar, and parts of Asia were obtained. Mr.
John E. Thayer’s collections in central China furnished a large
number of valuable specimens, especially of fishes. With few
exceptions the new material was received in excellent condition;
the greater portion of it is already classified and named.

38 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT ON THE ENTOMOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.

The collections of the Entomological Department have received
acceptable additions through the kindness of Miss Elizabeth B.
Bryant, Messrs. G. M. Allen, Thomas Barbour, W. C. Farabee,
W. G. Farlow, D. B. Fay, E. N. Fischer, C. A. Frost, J. G. Jack,
A. P. Morse, F. W. Putnam, Roland Thaxter, and A. M. Tozzer.

The W. G. Dietz collection of Coleoptera was acquired by
purchase. Some fossil insects from Green River, Wyoming, col-
lected by the late Prof. Leslie A. Lee and described by Mr. S. H.
Scudder were purchased of Mrs. Lee.

Some work of rearrangement of parts of the Hemiptera Heter-
optera has been carried out and portions of the Hayward and
Dietz collections have been incorporated with the general col-
lection.

REPORT ON: THE CRUSTACEA AND MOLLUSCA.

By WaLTEeR Faxon.

Very valuable contributions to the Museum’s collection of
Mollusca have been received during the past year from the Rev.
R. K. Smith and Mr. W. F. Clapp. These gifts include a lot
of marine shells from Buzzard’s Bay and another from Cape
Cod Bay, together with an assemblage of the land and fresh-
water Mollusca of the basin of Lake Champlain. Mr. Clapp
has also presented a collection of shells secured by him on the
west coast of Florida, with fossil shells from the Caloosahatchie
River, Fla.

Mr. Clapp has contrived by ingenious devices, known only to
the skillful collector, to secure many species in considerable
numbers that have heretofore been deemed excessively rare by
collectors, and he has also by persistent labor increased the
knowledge of the geographical distribution of many of our native
species of Mollusca.

Other donors whose favors should be acknowledged are Messrs.
Thomas Barbour, S. S. Berry, Hiram Bingham, R. T. Jackson, and
S. B. Warner.

40 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORTS ON THE LOWER INVERTEBRATES.

ECHINODERMS.

By Husert LyMAN CLARK.

The work on the card catalogues of ophiurans, Echini, and
holothurians has occupied most of the time during the past year.
While only a small part of the holothurians has been catalogued,
the work on the Echini has been carried nearly through the Regu-
lares and the catalogue of the ophiurans has been completed.
The collection of ophiurans includes some eighteen thousand
specimens of more than seven hundred species. There are more
than a hundred holotypes and nearly a hundred and fifty cotypes
of ophiurans.

A report on the Echinoderms of Peru has been prepared for
the Ministerio de Fomento of the Peruvian government. It is
based upon a collection made in 1907-1908 by Dr. Robert E. Coker
and presented to the Museum by the Peruvian government.
There are 268 specimens of 21 species, and they form the chief
addition of the year. There were no important additions from
exchanges, but a very valuable series of flexible sea-urchins
(Echinothuridae), 49 specimens of nine species, was received
from the United States National Museum. Other donations
have been received from Messrs. W. B. Benham, T. 8. Hall, R. T.
Jackon, and S. B. Warner. A fine series of echinoderms was sent
to the Frankfort Museum in return for a desirable lot of reptiles.

ACALEPHS.

By Henry B. BIGELGw.

During the past year an unusual number of accessions in this
Department has been received. The most important is the
duplicate set of siphonophores collected by H. M.S. “Research”’
in the Bay of Biscay in 1900. These specimens received through
Mr. G. H. Fowler add many species, several represented by large
series, to the Museum collection. Noteworthy also are two large
and excellently preserved collections of Medusae, one from the
Philippine Bureau of Science, the other from Puget Sound, from
the University of Washington through Professor T. Kincaid.
Specimens have also been given by Dr. A. G. Maver, Mr. Thomas
Barbour, and Mr. Howard J. Shannon. A small collection of
Medusae has been received from the Berlin Museum in exchange.
Purchases for the year are series of Medusae, hydroids, siphono-
phores and ctenophores from Naples and from Woods Hole, Mass.,
part of which have been placed on exhibition; also a specimen of
Rhopilema verrillia Fewkes collected at Branford, Connecticut, by
Professor A. E. Verrill. The “Albatross”’ collections of Hydro-
medusae made in the Philippines, and the Medusae, siphonophores
and ctenophores collected in the Northwestern Pacific, have been
received for study.

During the year I have been occupied with the reports on the
siphonophores of the “Albatross” Eastern Pacific, and of the
“Research” Biscayan Expeditions.

42 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE
PALAEONTOLOGY.

By CHARLES R. EAasTMAN.

Departmental work has been carried on during the past year
along essentially the same lines as heretofore, fossil fishes having
formed the chief subject of investigation.

An exchange with the Museum of Wesleyan University at
Middletown has been arranged and a report prepared on the
Triassic fishes of the Connecticut River Valley, which will be
published by the Geological and Natural History Survey of
Connecticut.

Through Prof. Charles Schuchert, of Yale University, we have
received for study and exchange a quantity of Tertiary and other
fish remains from the western United States, including some from
the supposed Oligocene of Florissant, Colorado. These last are
interesting, especially in view of fresh discoveries of Tertiary
fishes from Nevada, and quite recently from Washington, the
actual specimens having become the property of the Museum.

ADDITIONS.

A miscellaneous assortment of fossil vertebrate remains from
the English Crag and Cretaceous, transferred from the Depart-
ment of Invertebrate Palaeontology.

A fine specimen showing the well-preserved head and anterior
portion of the trunk of a species of Hypsocormus, from the Litho-
graphic Stone, Upper Jura, of Solenhofen, Bavaria. Presented
by Mr. Samuel Henshaw.

A nearly complete skeleton of Diplomystus dentatus, from the
Green River Eocene of Uinta County, Wyoming. (L. A. Lee
Collection.) Purchased.

Holotype of Xiphotrygon acutidens Cope, from the Green River
Eocene of Twin Creek, Wyoming. (L. A. Lee Collection.)

REPORT ON THE GEOLOGICAL COLLECTION.

By RoBert W. SAYLEs.

During the year, 225 specimens have been added to the col-
-lections. Most of these are fossils purchased for the historical
collection, which up to the present time has been very inade-
quately represented.

Dr. Laurence La Forge and the Assistant have made a collec-
tion of rock specimens to illustrate the stratigraphical and petro-
graphical geology of the Boston region. This collection is now
on exhibition.

Three new wall cases are partially filled with specimens.

The payments on account of the Museum are made by the Bursar of Harvard
College, on vouchers approved by the Curator. The accounts are annually
examined by a committee of the Overseers. The only funds the income of
which is restricted, the Gray, the Humboldt, and the Maria Whitney Funds,
are annually charged in an analysis of the accounts, with vouchers to the pay-
ment of which the income is applicable.

The income of the Gray Fund can be applied to the purchase and mainte-
nance of collections, but not for salaries.

The income of the Humboldt Fund (about $300.) can be applied for the
benefit of one or more students of Natural History, either at the Museum, the
United States Fish Commission Station at Woods Hole, the Stations at Ber-
muda, or the Tortugas.

The income of the Maria Whitney Fund can be applied for the care (binding)
and increase of the Whitney Library.

The income of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship Fund, of the value
of $250., is assigned annually with the approval of the Faculty of the Museum,
on the recommendation of the Professors of Zodlogy and of Comparative
Anatomy in Harvard University, “‘in supporting or assisting to support one
or more students who may have shown decided talents in oes and prefer-
ably in the direction of Marine Zodlogy.”

Applications for the tables reserved for advanced students at the Woods
Hole Station should be made to the Faculty of the Museum before the Ist
of May. Applicants should state their qualifications, and indicate the course
of study they intend to pursue.
