REPORT.

To THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE : —

During the past academic year the regular courses in Zodlogy
were given in the Museum, this being the first year that this
department has enjoyed complete possession of the rooms for-
merly occupied by the Department of Geology, now finally housed
in the new southwest corner-piece,—the Geological Section of
the University Museum. ,

Eleven courses in Zoology were given by Professors Mark,
Jackson, Parker, Castle, and Dr. Rand, assisted by Messrs. Car-
penter, Cushman, Peters, Smith, and three sub-assistants. These
courses were attended by two hundred and seventy-one students.
Three courses were given to nineteen students of Radcliffe
College.

Seventeen courses under the Department of Geology were
given by Professors Shaler, Davis, Jackson, Ward, J. B. Wood-
worth, and Dr. Jaggar, assisted by Messrs. Cushman, Goldthwait,
Read, and Wilder. Five hundred and fifty-nine students attended
these courses. Five courses were attended by forty-five students
of Radcliffe College.

The year has been an eventful one in the number and value of
the collections acquired by the Museum. Chief amongst these
are the collections of recent and fossil insects of Mr. 8S. H.
Scudder. In transferring his collections to the Museum at this
time Mr. Scudder has anticipated a clause in his testament by
which these collections are bequeathed to the Museum (see
[C], page 34). No gift of such importance and scientific value,
representing as it does the life work of one of the foremost stu-
dents of systematic entomology, has come to the Museum for

4 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

many years. Mr. Scudder’s gift was acknowledged by the Faculty
of the Museum at a meeting held July 9. .

The large and valuable Bryant collection of birds which has been
on deposit in the Museum has been formally and unconditionally
presented by Mr. Henry Bryant Bigelow (see [D], page 34).
The importance of this acquisition to our ornithological collec-
tions is recognized in Mr. Brewster’s report.

From Mr. Thomas Barbour we have received an extensive and
important collection of alcoholic reptiles and batrachians, the —
private collection of the donor. ‘This gift is of especial value as it
fills many gaps in our series. The Museum is also indebted to
Mr. Barbour in many other ways. It is a pleasure to note here
the increasing interest taken in the Museum by those students.
of Harvard University attending courses in the building, as shown
by their gifts and additions to its collections.

From the estate of John Bellows, Esq., of Gloucester, Eng-
land, has been received a series of Devonian and Carboniferous
corals bequeathed by him to the Museum. This collection con-
sists of upwards of one hundred and fifty lots of polished sections
showing structural details, many of them of extreme beauty.

A valuable series of palxozoic fishes obtained from various
sources in Europe by Dr. Eastman has been received from Mr.
Agassiz. This accession supplements the extensive collections of
fossil fishes in the Museum. For comparison in his studies of
the elevated reefs aud limestones of the Pacific Islands there has
been received through Mr. Agassiz from the Coral-Reef Committee
of the Royal Society a series of samples of the core from the deep
boring made by Professor David on the atoll of Funafuti (see |
[E], page 34).

The reports of the different departments show minor gifts and
accessions from many sources.

Owing to many petty acts of vandalism perpetrated by the law- |
less element of the ever-increasing number of public visitors, |
the Museum Committee has employed a uniformed watchman |
to patrol the exhibition rooms during the hours when the Museum
is open to the public. The salutary effect of this is felt through-
out the different sections of the University Museum. |

By the appointment of Mr. George Nelson as Preparator, the —
Museum has realized a great need and secured a competent and
zealous helper.

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 5

Notable changes have been made in some of the exhibition
rooms. The Tertiary, Quaternary, and Jurassic Rooms have been
completely cased, heavy plate-glass the full height of the cases
being employed, thus avoiding the obtrusive sash bars of the
cases in the older exhibition rooms. In two of the rooms plate-
glass screens forty feet in length have been constructed, behind
which the larger fossil vertebrates are grouped. The exhibits in
these rooms are in process of installation. In the hallway of the
main entrance on the second floor a large case has been con-
structed to contain an exhibit of apparatus used in the investiga-
tion of the ocean, such as sounding machinery, deep-sea nets and
trawls, dredges, etc.

The arrival of a superb specimen of the giraffe from Rowland
Ward has necessitated a radical change in the African Room.
The three floor cases which contained the larger mammals have
been removed, and a single large plate-glass case with a monitor
top, eighteen feet in height, erected in its place. The effect is
pleasing and dignified, and adds much to the attractiveness of
one of the most interesting of the faunal exhibits. It is hoped to
install such large central cases in others of the faunal rooms.

The Pacific Room has received many important additions in
birds from the Hawaiian and Galapagos Islands, and many minor
exhibition specimens have been distributed throughout the Mu-
seum, chief amongst which are the mounted turtles and reptiles
in the North American Room, the work of Mr. Nelson.

Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan visited the Museum to examine the
extensive collections of limestones from the Pacific Islands, brought
together by Mr. Agassiz, with a view to preparing a report on the
fossil corals. The material selected by him has been forwarded
to Washington. Professor C. L. Edwards and his assistant spent
several days in Cambridge studying the collections of Holothuri-
oidea. The paleozoic starfishes loaned to Dr. Suchert have all
been returned.

The Library report of Mr. Henshaw shows the accessions for the
year to be 9,147 volumes, parts of volumes, pamphlets, and maps,
nearly doubling in number the accessions registered in the last
report. The total number of volumes now in the Museum Library
is upwards of 88,000, and of pamphlets upwards of 30,000. This
great increment is due in a measure, as Mr. Henshaw points out,
to parts of the Hagen and Whitney libraries not hitherto cata-

6 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

logued. In speaking of the Library, I must here again call atten-
tion to its increasing demands upon the general funds of the
Museum for its maintenance in the interests of the students of
the University and Radcliffe College. Library funds are much
needed for books, binding, and salaries.

The Museum publications of the year include thirteen numbers
of the “ Bulletin,” with 749 pages and 48 plates, and two numbers of
the “ Memoirs,” with 457 pages and 241 plates,—an increase
of 462 pages and 173 plates as compared with the publications of
last year. The two “ Memoirs” are reports on the Results of Mr.
Agassiz’s Tropical Pacific Expedition (Nos. IV. and V.). Two
numbers of the “ Bulletin” are upon geological results of Mr.
Agassiz’s Fiji Expedition, and one upon his expedition to the Mal-
dive Islands. Volumes XXXIX., XLI., XLII, XLIIJ., XLV. of
the “ Bulletin,” and XXV., XXVI., XXVIII, XXIX., and XXX.
of the ‘“* Memoirs” are now in course of publication.

A gift of particular interest is an early oil portrait of Professor
Louis Agassiz, the founder of the Museum, presented by Captain
C. H. Davis, U.S. N. (see [F], page 35). There has been hung in
the hall of the main entrance a portrait of Mr. Agassiz by Lefebvre,
a bronze tablet under which bears this inscription : — Alexander
Agassiz. This memorial of his great services to Science and the
University given by his friends and placed here by special vote of
the President and Fellows and Board of Overseers, —a welcome
and fitting gift, a proper tribute. A portrait of the late Sturgis-
Hooper Professor of Geology, Josiah Dwight Whitney, by De Camp,
has been presented by his family and hangs in the main room of
the geological library. The Museum now possesses more than
two hundred and fifty framed portraits of distinguished zoologists
and geologists, and many more that have not been hung in the
rooms of the library and offices. From Sella and Dr. Fritz
Benesch of Vienna has been received an important collection of
photographs of the Dolomite region.

Keeper of the Museum.

REPORT ON THE ZOOLOGICAL LABORATORY.

By Proressor E. L. Marx.

THE courses of instruction were not materially altered from
those given in the preceding year, though the laboratory exer-
cises were in some cases considerably changed. The number of
students in the several classes from the various departments of
the University during the year 1902-03 is shown in the following
table, the numbers printed in italics indicating students from the
Lawrence Scientific School : —

The following table shows in a similar way the number of stu-
dents of Radcliffe College taking courses in Zodlogy : —

8 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

Aside from ordinary revision, the lectures in Zotlogy 1 were
the same as those given in 1901-02; but a change was made in
the laboratory exercises by devoting half an hour at the beginning
of each three-hour period to a quiz on the subject matter of the
exercise anda brief exposition of the work about to be entered
upon. Professor Parker had as Chief Assistant in this course in
Harvard College Mr. Grant Smith, and as Sub-Assistants, Messrs.
A. D. Howard, C. W. Hahn, and A. P. Larrabee. The Assistant
in the course to Radcliffe students was Mr. J. A. Long.

In Zobélogy 2, given by Dr. Castle, the third optional hour for
lectures was used for about half of the time. Two changes were
made in the laboratory work: for the study of the clam was sub-
stituted with noticeable advantage that of the squid, and the study
of vertebrate anatomy, hitherto pursued on the frog alone, was
supplemented by the examination and drawing of typical cross
sections of Amblystoma. It is proposed to add next year the same
treatment of Amphioxus. A study of the metamorphosis of the
frog was omitted this year. A voluntary excursion to the sea-
shore was participated in by about one-third of the class. The
Chief Assistant was Mr. A. W. Peters; the Sub-Assistants, Messrs.
F. W. Carpenter and A. P. Larrabee.

Dr. Rand largely revised his lectures in Zodlogy 3, but the
laboratory work was not much modified from that of the preced-
ing year. With the assistance of the Department Preparator,
Mr. M. Reitz, a beginning has been made in preparing skeletons of
some of the Vertebrates studied, so that each student may have a
set for study without the loss of time involved in making his own
preparations. It is proposed to increase this collection till it fully
meets the needs of the whole class. The Harvard College Assist-
ant was Mr. F. W. Carpenter; the Radcliffe College Assistant,
Mr. J. A. Long.

The laboratory work in Zodlogy 4 was supervised by Dr. Rand,
and was as usual on the leech Glossiphonia. There were a few
lectures by Dr. Rand on the anatomy and histology of this animal;
the remaining lectures were on technique, including bibliographic
methods; but owing to want of time methods of reconstruction
were omitted. |

In Zodlogy 5 the laboratory work was on the development of
the chick during the first four days of incubation, and was con-
ducted by Dr. Rand. The lectures, by Professor Mark, covered
about the same ground as in previous years.

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. g

The number of lectures in Zodlogy 9, given as usual by Pro-
fessor Jackson, was somewhat increased over that of last year,
_ the optional hour being nearly always made use of.

In Zoélogy 9a the work was chiefly on young stages of living
and fossil mollusks.

The lectures in Zodlogy 10 covered the same ground as in
1901-02, when they were last given; especial attention, however,
was given by Dr. Castle to questions of sex and its relation to
heredity. In the second half-year the influences of chemical and
physical agents on protoplasm and its activities were considered.
A number of problems connected with heredity, variability, and
the influence of environment have been studied by different indi-
viduals in this course, and the results of some of these will be
published. ;

Zodlogy 13 was conducted by Professor Parker, and covered
the same ground as in 1902-03. It is intended to broaden some-
what the course next year to include sustentative tissues, so that
it will be a course in comparative histology, as was originally
proposed. .

As usual, special topics for investigation were assigned by Pro-
fessor Parker to the students in Zodlogy 16. The topics were
chiefly on sensory organs and their functions. The results of
several of these will be published. The lectures were substan-
tially the same as the ones delivered in 1901-02.

The supervision of students engaged in researches (Zodlogy 20)
was divided, as proposed in the last report, among the older in-
structors of the department. Of the twelve students engaged in
research, seven worked under the guidance of the Director, two
each under Professor Parker and Dr. Castle, and one under Pro-
fessor Jackson. Additional time for the research work was in a
few instances gained by allowing the student to meet the labora-
tory requirements in some of the formal courses (Courses 10 and
16) by devoting his laboratory time to the topic of his investiga-
tion. In all cases satisfactory progress was made with the work,
and the results of several of the studies are ready for publication ;
indeed, two preliminary papers have already been issued as num-
bers 142 and 144 of the Contributions from the laboratory, — the
former embodying some of the results of breeding experiments
carried on for some time by Dr. Castle, or under his guidance ;
the latter some important histological results arrived at under
the supervision of Professor Parker.

10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

Owing to delays in the reproduction of plates, the papers by
Dr. Hall, Dr. Breed, Mr. Sargent, and Mr. Lander have not ap-
peared, but they are nearly ready for distribution.

In June, 1903, the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was con-
ferred on Amos W. Peters, whose thesis was on ‘ Metabolism
and the Reaction of Division in Protozoa.’ Dr. Peters has
been appointed Instructor in Zodlogy at the State University of
Illinois.

Professor Parker, besides devoting much time and energy to
editorial work, has prepared two papers which have been issued
as numbers 138 and 143 of the Contributions. Dr. Castle has
published two papers on an important subject, heredity, and has
shared in the authorship of a third. These, too, have appeared
in the Contributions, being numbers 136, 137, and 142. It is a
pleasure to note in this connection the promotion of Dr. Castle to
Assistant Professor of Zodlogy.

Dr. C. W. Prentiss, who has held for two years a Parker Fel-
lowship, has been carrying on his studies at the Naples Station
and at the University of Strassburg, and has published the fol-
lowing papers: “ Ueber die Fibrillengitter in dem Neuropil von
Hirudo und Astacus und ihre Beziehung zu den sogennanten
Neuronen. Arch. f. mikr. Anat., Bd. 62, pp. 592-606, Taf. 26
Juli, 1903; The Neurofibrillar Structures in the Ganglia of the
Leech and Crayfish, with especial reference to the Neurone The-
ory. Jour. Comp. Neurol., Vol. 18, No. 8, pp. 157-175, pls. 5, 6.
October, 1908. He has been appointed to a position in Adelbert
College, Western Reserve University, to do the work of the Pro-
fessor of Zodlogy during a year’s leave of absence.

The Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship for 1902-03 was held by
Mr. Austin P. Larrabee, a graduate of Bowdoin College.

Nine instructors and advanced students carried on work at
Wo0d’s Hole during the summer of 19038, eight at the U. S. Fish
Commission Laboratory, and one, as holder of a Carnegie Table,
at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Wood’s Hole. Of these,
eight have received aid from the Humboldt Fund aggregating |
$160.71.

Through the interest and generosity of a few friends of the
department, money was secured for the construction of a small
number of aquaria, both for salt water and fresh water. These
are each five feet long, and are located in the basement room,
wholly above ground, under the zodlogical laboratories. The water,

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 11

fresh as well as salt, is stored in three subterranean cisterns of
concrete, holding each about fifteen hundred gallons. From these
it is pumped by compressed air into wooden reservoirs, — being
at the same time aerated,— whence it is led.through wooden
pipes to the aquaria. The overflow from the aquaria percolates
through sand filters back into the cisterns. The water nowhere
comes in contact with metal. The pumping is done by a one-
horse-power electric motor. The planning and supervision of
construction has taken much of the spare time of the Director,
who has had the valuable assistance of Professor Burke of the
Engineering Department.

Mr. Samuel H. Scudder has given to the department a con-
siderable number of valuable optical, drawing, and dissecting
instruments which have been used by him in his scientific
work.

During the latter part of April Professor Mark, in company
with Professor Bristol, of the University of New York, made a
visit to Bermuda on the invitation of the Bermuda Natural History
Society, for the purpose of gaining information as to the desirabil-
ity of establishing a permanent biological station for research on
the islands. The conditions appeared so favorable, and the offers
of the Society so generous, that it was decided to raise money for
the equipment of a temporary laboratory. An invitation was sent
out late in the spring (May) to biologists to avail themselves of
the opportunity. The laboratory was opened on the 22d of June,
and closed on the 21st of August. There were thirty-four per-
sons enrolled, fourteen of whom were or had been connected with
Harvard University or Radcliffe College. The others came from
parts of the country as widely separated as New England, Kansas,
Minnesota, and Mississippi. Two persons received aid amounting
to $57.86 from the income of the Humboldt Fund. Many of the
collections were brought to Cambridge, and the results of the
investigations will be published in various journals.

The meetings of the Zodlogical Club were held on Monday
afternoons throughout the year. The average attendance was
between seventeen and eighteen. The papers read and topics
discussed were announced in the University Calendar.

REPORT OF THE STURGIS-HOOPER PROFESSOR OF
GEOLOGY.

By Witiram M. Davis.

THE instruction given by Professor Davis was, as during recent
years, a whole course in advanced Physiography and a half-course
of intermediate grade. The latter was upon the United States,
and in it the laboratory work on charts, maps, and folios was,
with the assistance of Mr. Read, developed to a much more satis-
factory stage than heretofore. In the advanced course the prin-
cipal problems discussed were: Piedmont fluviatile plains; the
meanders of the Mississippi; the geographic features of extinct
glacial lakes; the movement of sands on beaches; the principles
of regional physiography, and outlines for practical laboratory
exercises. During the autumn and early winter a good share of
time was given to the preparation of two reports on the work of
the previous summer in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon, one
of which has been published in the Museum “ Bulletin,’ and the
other of which is in press. The former is chiefly concerned with
the faults by which the plateaus of southern Utah and northern
Arizona are divided. The latter is a discussion of the Basin
range problem, to which renewed attention has been recently
turned. At the same time supervision was given to the special
report on the Hurricane Fault in the Toquerville district of
southern Utah by Messrs. Huntington and Goldthwait, who ac-
companied Professor Davis on his western excursion. A _ short
excursion was made in November to Mt. Mitchell and the Blue
Ridge of North Carolina, with special consideration of the Blue
Ridge as a retreating escarpment; the results have been published
by the Geographical Society of Philadelphia. A certain share of
time has been given to the organization of the Harvard Travellers
Club, with the object of bringing together Harvard students and
graduates, and others interested in the promotion of intelligent
travel and exploration. The plan has met with an encouraging

14 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

response, and the Club seems to be assured of steady growth. It
numbers at present about one hundred members.

On April 17 Professor Davis left Cambridge, accompanied by
Mr. Ellsworth Huntington as Carnegie research assistant, to pro-
ceed va Constantinople and Baku to Western Turkestan for the
study of geologic and physiographic problems, as members of
Professor Raphael Pumpelly’s Carnegie expedition to that region.
This journey proved most profitable in observations on the elevated
shore lines of the Caspian sea, on the great fluviatile plains of
Turkestan, and on the terraces and glacial deposits among the
western ranges of the Tian Shan system as far as Lake Issikkul.
Professor Davis returned via Semipalatinsk, Omsk, and St. Peters-
burg, reaching home August 28. Mr. Huntington remains for
the present in Turkestan to continue the investigations begun dur-
ing the summer. He turned southward from Issikkul late in July,
and reached Kashgar near the end of August.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND
GEOGRAPHY.

By Assistant Proressor Ropert DeC. Warp.

Tue following table gives the number of students who took the
various courses in Geology and Geography which were given dur-
ing the year 1902-03 in the lecture rooms and laboratories of the
Museum. The numbers of students of Radcliffe College are in
italics.

Two summer courses in Geology and Geography were given.
The elementary course in Geology was given by Professor J. E.
Woodman, of Dalhousie College,
Halifax, N. S., formerly Assistant Corres. Biudente.
in Geology in this University. Pro-
fessor Shaler gave some lectures Geology = ae
in this course. The number of
students was twenty-one. The
summer course in Physiography,
attended by forty-one students, was
given by Mr. H. T. Burr, assisted
by Mr. F. M. Wilder.

The only changes of note in the
instruction given during the year
1902-03 as compared with that of
the preceding year were the addi-
tion of a new whole-course in
Paleontology (Geology 11), given Totals 18
by Professor Jackson, which _re-
places the half-course in Paleontology formerly designated as
Geology 14a, and the addition of a new research course in Clima-
tology (Geology 26), given by Professor Ward. The following
acted as Assistants in the various courses named: Mr. P. 8S. Smith,
Austin Teaching Fellow in Geology, in 4 and 8; Mr. L. LaForge,
Austin Teaching Fellow in Geology, in 17 and 22; Mr. M. A.

16 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

Read, in 6 and 14; Mr. J. W. Goldthwait, in 4 and 5; Mr. F. M.
Wilder, in A and B; and Mr. J. A. Cushman,in 11. In addition,
Messrs. I. Bowman, F. F. Burr, F. B. Ely, L. E. Hunt, E. Hunting-
ton, L. O. Packard, and W. 8. Tower served as student-assistants
in the laboratory and field work of Geology 5, under the direction
of Professor J. B. Woodworth.

In April, Mr. Read was obliged, by reason of ill health, to resign
his position as Instructor in Physiography. Mr. Smith, Austin
Teaching Fellow in Geology during the year 1902-03, has been
appointed in place of Mr. Read.

After one full year’s use of the spacious laboratories and lecture
rooms in the new southwest corner-piece of the Museum, the hope
of the officers of the department, that their own work and that of
their students would, under the new conditions, be done more
effectively and more systematically than before, has been fully
realized. The statement made in last year’s report can but be
repeated, with added emphasis, that it is impossible to overestimate
the value to the department of the new addition to the Museum.
In the course of the year the large model of Boston, deposited in the
Museum by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was fitted with
a plate-glass case, and put on public exhibition, on May 1, in the
new Geological Exhibition Rooms, as the nucleus of a geological
collection. Other objects secured for the Museum are a valuable
collection of relics from the ruined city of St. Pierre, in Martinique,
and a large suite of specimens from the Caribbee Islands, collected
by Dr. Jaggar. The department has in hand a comprehensive
plan for the proposed geological and geographical exhibits.

In November and December, 1902, four illustrated public lec-
tures were given in the new Geological Lecture Room, by Profes-
sors Davis, Wolff, and Ward, and Dr. Jaggar, and in July, 1903,
during the convention of the National Education Association, the
laboratories of Geology, Physiography, and Meteorology were
opened to those who wished to inspect the teaching equipment
and facilities. ‘Two public lectures were also given at that time,
by Professors J. B. Woodworth and Ward.

Professor Shaler gave his courses along the same lines as in
previous years. Professor Davis’s work is described on an earlier
page.

In the Historical Geology (Geology 15) course a few lectures
were given by Professor Shaler. The collections used in teaching
are in good condition. A number of new diagrams were mounted,

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. F7

and photographic diagrams were added to those already in use for
teaching. Dr. Laurence LaForge donated a considerable collection
of fossils from the New York State Devonian, especially the
Chemung group.

Professor Ward gave his usual courses in Meteorology (Geology
B and 1) and Climatology (Geology 19 and 25), and also a new
research course in Climatology (Geology 26). <A portion of the
thesis prepared by Mr. W. S. Tower in the latter course has been
published in the “ Bulletin of the American Geographical Society ”’
(Vol. XXXV. pp. 253-260). The purchase of thirty sling
_ psychrometers made it possible for the first time to give the class
in Elementary Meteorology some actual observational work with
these important instruments. The results of this innovation were
most satisfactory, and emphasized the need of introducing more
instrumental work in this course as soon as possible. Sixteen sets
of mounted weather maps of recent date have also added greatly
to the interest in the laboratory work in Geology B. Professor
Ward was occupied for some months with the proof of his
translation of Hann’s ‘“* Handbuch der Klimatologie,’ which was
published in April, 1903.

Professor J. B. Woodworth reports an increased number of stu-
dents in courses 5 and 8. There were added by purchase to the
equipment of the laboratory in Professor Woodworth’s charge dur-
ing the year a collection of New York State rocks, representing
the various horizons of the Paleozoic column there developed ; sev-
eral rocks and minerals to fill gaps in the study series; a set of
wall maps of the continents, and, for field work, a small plane table
and alidade. Mr. I. Bowman was employed from time to time in
labelling the new cases and preparing trays for the reception of
the rock collections. Every case in this section of the new build-
ing is now in working order, and a catalogue is under way,
designed to facilitate reference to any desired object, including the
maps and specimens. Mr. Smith during the year completed
the numbering and cataloguing of the geological maps in Room
23, and materially advanced the same work upon the rock collec-
tions. <A few gifts of interest have been received, notably a
collection of apparently sand-blasted pebbles from the Keweenaw
conglomerate of the Lake Superior District, from Mr. C. H. White.

Professor J. B. Woodworth, under the auspices of the New York
State Museum, continued during the year, as time permitted, his
investigation of the pleistocene geology of the Hudson and Cham-

|

entary impressions of the trails known as climactichnites found —

near West Chazy, N. Y. Asa result of last summer’s field work
a pleistocene map of the Mooer’s quadrangle in Clinton County,
N. Y., has been nearly completed. Mr. I. Bowman, temporary
assistant in the laboratory, left in April in order to take a position
on the United States Geological Survey. One full course and two
half-courses in Geology in Radcliffe College were conducted as
heretofore. One student from the Institute of Technology was
given a short course of verbal instruction in glacial geology.

As Chairman of the Committee on the Gardner Collection
of Photographs, Professor J. B. Woodworth reports that, to
the zeal and efficient help of Mr. Smith, the collection of photo-
graphs and slides is at the end of this year for the first time in a
satisfactory condition as regards classification of the material,
and the registration of the data concerning it. The following
statement has been compiled by Mr. Smith for this report : —

The large number of views catalogued during the year repre-
sents an accumulation of some years concerning which informa-
tion was not obtained at the time when they were acquired.
The larger proportion of slides than photographs acquired during
the year expresses the present policy of the department concerning
purchases, since it has been found that the slides alone furnish
suitable material for illustration before the large classes. The
duplicates consist in the main of presentation copies, or of views
which have been intentionally duplicated. The negatives belong-
ing to the collection consist very largely of lantern-slide negatives,
and most of these are copied from photographs. On April 8
an exhibition of over 150 Norwegian photographs was made before
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the rooms of the

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 19

Museum. The committee is very desirous of securing some
means of regularly exhibiting certain parts of the collection
to the public. Mr. E. G. Sherwin, Price-Greenleaf aid, acted
under Mr. Smith’s direction in the care of the lantern slides.

Dr. Jaggar continued his work in charge of the advanced field
course in Geology. Fourteen students completed surveys, in
the autumn, of the southern part of the Lawrence quadrangle
and the eastern part of the Framingham quadrangle. Dur-
ing the second half-year this class investigated the complex
problems of the region about High Rock.in Melrose, one division
of the class completing a large-scale topographic map and inscrib-
ing thereon the geology. Mr. LaForge rendered efficient assistance
in this work, and completed a thesis on the Geology of Somerville,
Mass., which was presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Special studies of large areas in the vicinity of Boston were made
by Messrs. D. C. Bard and F. M. Wilder. Mr. Bard made a re-
connaissance geological map of portions of the Lowell and Law-
rence quadrangles, and Mr. Wilder, of the Framingham quadrangle.’
These studies are preparatory to more elaborate work by future
classes. In collaboration with Professor Crosby, of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, arrangements were made with
the United States Geological Survey, whereby Dr. Jaggar and
Professor Crosby will jointly produce a Boston City folio showing
the geology of the Metropolitan district of Boston. Three stu-
dents from the Institute of Technology joined the Harvard
class in experimental geology in the spring, and two of these
carried on advanced field work in the Middlesex Fells. In
February, Dr. Jagegar gave a course of six lectures at the Lowell
Institute on the “‘ Caribbean Volcanic Eruptions and their Bearing
on Vulcanology.”

Mr. Read gave the course in Elementary Physiography. He
also acted as assistant in Geology 6 and 14, and lectured on
Elementary, Physiography at the Institute of Technology during
the first half-year. |

REPORT ON THE BIRDS.
By Wiii1amM Brewster.

In my report for 1899-1900 I mentioned that the Museum had
received that year “from the Bigelow family of Boston, through
Mr. Henry Bryant Bigelow, . . . nominally on deposit, but with
the assurance that they are not likely to be removed from their
present quarters,” a large number of skins of North American
and West Indian birds. All of these have now been formally
presented to the Museum by Mr. Bigelow (see [D], page 34).

This collection forms, without question, not only the largest but
decidedly the most valuable acquisition which our bird department
has received by gift since | have been connected with it. There
are, as I stated in the report for 1899-1900, “ upwards of eight
thousand skins of North American and West Indian birds. Of
these about six hundred — the original nucleus of the collection —
are of especial interest and value from the fact that they were col-
lected and prepared by the late Dr. Henry Bryant, the others
having been obtained later by Dr. William 8. Bryant and his
nephew, Mr. Bigelow.” Most of the specimens are in excellent
condition, and the greater part of them have been relabelled under
Mr. Bigelow’s direction and at his expense. Nothing remains to
be done to them, therefore, but to weed out such as are obviously
duplicates (the number of these is not likely to be large, for very
fortunately the collection, as a whole, supplements rather than
duplicates that already in the Museum) and to enter the remain-
ing birds in our catalogue.

The Museum is still further indebted to Mr. Bigelow for a col-
lection of birds made by him in Ceylon as well as for those of one
hundred and ninety-nine North American birds.

The Museum has also received by gift: From G. Nelson, six
mounted specimens of North American birds; from T. Barbour,
an albinistic specimen (mounted) of the Florida Grackle ( Quiscalus
g. agleus); from Willis H. Chandler, a mounted parrot (Pszttacus

erythacus); from A. H. Clark, a nest (described in the Auk, XIX.,
1902, 266) of Lawrence’s Gnatcatcher (Polioptila plumbiceps),
obtained by him at Margarita Island.

The following birds have been acquired by purchase: From
C. K. Worthen, thirty-five skins obtained in the Galapagos Islands
by R. H. Beck ; from A. Girtaner,a mounted Penguin (Pheniscus
magellanicus ).

Since the publication of the last report fifty-seven birds have
been mounted and placed on exhibition. Of these twenty-four are
from the Galapagos Islands, an equal number from the Hawaiian
Islands, and five from Massachusetts.

I have published during the year: -—

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

In these departments the largest addition was a collection of
more than two hundred species of reptiles and batrachians do-
nated by Mr. Thomas Barbour. The collection was in good con-
dition, with comparatively few duplicates, and, being gathered
from widely separated localities, it supplied many of our de-
siderata. Through Mr. Barbour’s interest, other representatives
of good species were received from the New York Zodlogical
Park. Some of these were especially desired for the exhibition
rooms, for which, with others, they have been well prepared by
Mr. Nelson. A large collection of Japanese fishes has been re-
ceived from Stanford University through Professors Jordan and
Snyder, and another extensive series of Hawaiian species was ob-
tained from the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries.
The list of donors includes the names of Alexander Agassiz,
Outram Bangs, Thomas Barbour, Austin C. Clark, Prof. Hubert
Lyman Clark, E. N. Carter, Walter Deane, R. H. Howe, Jr., D. S.
Jordan, George Nelson, the New York Zoological Society, G. H.
Parker, J. O. Snyder, the U. 8. Fish Commission, and B. G. Wilder.
Specimens in exchange or for study were sent E. H. Baynes and
the New York Zodélogical Park. The alcoholic portions of the
storage collections have been worked over, with the result that the
jars are cleaned, waxed, and filled, and otherwise put in good
condition. Various additions, including mounted specimens, have
been made to the exhibition series. More than the ordinary use
of the collections has been made by students.

REPORT ON THE ENTOMOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.

“

By SamMurEL HensHAw.

In the Report for 1901-02, p. 25, the accession of Mr. S. H.
Scudder’s collection of the early stages of Rhopalocera was ac-
knowledged. During the present year Mr. Scudder has anticipated
his testamentary act and passed to the Museum his collections of
fossil and recent insects (see [C], page 34). It is difficult to
overstate the value of this donation, containing as it does a very
large proportion of the types described by Mr. Scudder in his
numerous contributions to systematic entomology.

Additions to the collections of the department, for which thanks
are due, have been received from Mrs. R. A. Hart, Mrs. H. E.
Scudder, Miss E. B. Bryant, Miss H. 8. Clark, Miss F. W. Smith,
Miss G. A. Thurston, and Messrs. W. P. Alcott, G. M. Allen,

Bahamas, and of Odonata from Central America.

A large part of the Scudder collection of the early stages of
Rhopalocera and of the Thaxter collection of Heterocera have

been incorporated with the regular series. A part of the Lyce-
nid and of the Pieriinz of the Rhopalocera, some of the Tineid
groups and the Lipariide and the Notodontide of the Heterocera
have been revised. Two cases and two hundred boxes have been
received and utilized. The Myriopoda loaned Dr. Fr. Meinert for
study twenty years ago have been returned, but without the critical
determination hoped for.

28 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

REPORT ON THE CRUSTACEA AND MOLLUSCA.
By WatLterR Faxon.

Wirtx the help of Miss E. B. Bryant, I have overhauled the
whole of the alcoholic mollusks stored in the basement of the
Museum. Block tin numbers have been placed in each jar, cor-
responding to the numbers in a new catalogue prepared by Miss
Bryant. Certain of the dry collections of especial value by virtue
of the work expended on them by specialists, and of the number
of types they comprise, have also been catalogued by Miss Bryant
under my supervision. Among these are the Godman collection
of Central-American land-shells, forming part of the material
worked up by Von Martens for the Biologia Centrali-Americana,
Henry Suter’s New Zealand shells, and the Blake Expedition Mol-
lusks collected in 1877-80, and identified by W. H. Dall and
K. J. Bush. I am convinced that only in this way can large col-
lections of type material be made permanently safe and at the
same time easily available.

During the year Miss M. J. Rathbun has published in the
Museum “ Bulletin” (Vol. XXXIX., No. 5) an account of the
Crustacea collected by Mr. Agassiz in the Maldive Archipelago in
1901-02. Her report comprises description of six new species,
the types of which are now in our Museum.

The Assistant would here acknowledge with thanks the gifts
to the collections received from Messrs. A. Agassiz, T. Barbour,
J. H. Blake, Owen Bryant, A. S. Pearse, J. H. Sears, R. K. Smith,
and E. B. Wilson. Exchanges of specimens have been negotiated
with the United States National Museum, and loan of material to
the United States National Museum and to Mr. T. Thompson of
Clark University.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE
PALZONTOLOGY.

By CwHarwes R. EastTMan.

SINCE the date of the last Report, the Assistant has spent sev-
eral months in Europe studying the paleontological collections of
the principal museums, and making extensive purchases of fossil
vertebrates, in particular Paleozoic and Eocene fishes, for this
department. The Eocene material includes an especially fine
suite of specimens from Monte Bolca, Italy, brought together by
the Marchese di Canossa of Verona, and first offered to this
Museum for sale in its entirety. Our representation of fossil
fishes from the Old Red Sandstone of Scotland, and from the
Devonian of other countries, has also been considerably aug-
mented. All of the material mentioned in the last Report as
having been borrowed for study has been returned to the Museum
in good condition.

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

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

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 recom-
mendation of the Professor of Zoology and of Comparative Anatomy in Harvard
University, “in supporting or assisting to support one or more students who
have shown decided talents in Zoology, and preferably in the direction of Marine
Zoology.”

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 Wood’s Hole, Bermuda, or the Tortugas.

Applications for the tables reserved for advanced students at the Wood’s 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.

34 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

[C]

CAMBRIDGE, Jan. 5, 1903.

Dear Mr. Hensnaw, — Enclosed please find a copy of that portion of my will
which relates to my natural history collections.

As I cannot use them any more nor take that care of them which such objects
demand, I hereby offer them at once to the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy on the
terms set forth in the enclosed section of my will.

Yours very truly,
SamoE. H. ScuppeEr.

ARTICLE 6.
Will of Samuel H. Scudder. Dated Feb, 23, 1897.

6. I give my natural history collections of whatever nature, and my cabinets to
the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy in said Cambridge, on condition that, within
six months after receiving the same, the said Museum of Comparative Zodlogy
shall give to the said Boston Society of Natural History such New England speci-
mens of Orthoptera and Lepidoptera mounted on pins or in bottles, excepting
types, as the said Boston Society of Natural History may select ; and on the further
condition that, after the said Museum of Comparative Zodlogy shall have selected
from the series of fossil insects one specimen of each species (as arranged by
me) the said Museum shall give to the United States National Museum at Washing-
ton in the District of Columbia, the privilege of selecting for its own use, a second
specimen of each species, when there is in my collection such a second specimen.

[D]

CAMBRIDGE, June 3, 1903.

Dear Mr. BrewsterR,—I saw Dr. Woodworth a few days ago, and turned
over to him for the Museum the Bryant collection of birds, which has been here
on deposit for the last few years. The gift of the collection to the Museum is
unconditional and absolute, and the conditions of deposit, stated in our last letters
on the subject, are therefore no longer in force. With the skins are of course
included all the tin cases in which they are contained.

Yours very truly,
Henry B. BIiGELow,

My pDEAR Proressor Acassiz,—I hope that you had a very pleasant voyage
back to the States. y
I have just sent off to you at the Museum the set of samples of Funafuti slices,
which I hope will reach you safely. I had to submit them to the Royal Society
Coral-Reef Committee, and they at once agreed to my sending them on the under-

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 35

standing that they are used as mineral specimens, and any criticism on the organisms
should be based on the complete core at Sydney or on the core and sections to be
deposited in the British Museum. Of course from what you kindly told me when
you saw the specimens I was able to give this assurance, and I trust that they will
prove useful for comparison with your upraised reefs.
Believe me to remain, very truly yours,
Joun W. Jupp.

U. S. NavaL OBSERVATORY, GEORGETOWN HEIGHTS,
WasuinerTon, D. C., October 6, 1902.

My pear Srr,— You may possibly recall a conversation which we had at a
dinner given to the National Academy of Sciences, I think on the event of your in-
auguration as President. This conversation related to a portrait of your father,
which is in my possession, and which I then expressed a desire to present to the
Museum of which he was the illustrious founder.

As Iam about to break up at the Observatory, I am now ready to deliver the
picture, and will send it boxed to the address as given by you on notification from
you that it will be agreeable to you to receive it. The picture was, to the best of
my belief, painted by Ames, of Boston, and represents Professor Agassiz at just
about the time when the first building of the Museum was under construction on
Divinity Avenue. It would therefore be particularly appropriate for the Museum.

The only conditions which I attach to this gift are that it shall be considered as a
donation to the Museum and not to an individual; 2d, that it shall be held in per-
petuity and constantly exhibited in the Museum ; 3d, that the Museum shall agree
that it will at no time dispose of this picture, either by sale or gift; 4th, that if at
any time it should decide or desire so to dispose of the picture, that it shall then
revert to the heirs or assigns of the donor.

Trusting to hear from you at an early date, I am, my dear sir,

Very respectfully and sincerely yours,
C. Hi; Daves,
Captain U.S. N.
