REPORT. To THE PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE :— DurinG the past year the following courses of instruction have been given at the Museum: — A course in Biology, by Professor Farlow and Dr. Ayers. A course in Zodlogy, by Dr. Ayers, who had charge of the general Biological Laboratory, assisted by Mr. G. H. Parker. General Lectures on Zodlogy, by Professor Mark. A course in Microscopic Anatomy and a course of Embryology were also given by Professor Mark. In the Laboratory work he was assisted by Mr. G. H. Parker. Professors J. D. Whitney, Shaler, and Davis, and Mr. J. E. Wolff, gave the usual courses in Geology, Paleontology, Physi- cal Geography, and Petrography. For the details of the courses of instruction, I would refer to the accompanying special Reports of the Professors and In- structors. The Assistants of the Museum, Professors Hagen and Faxon, Dr. Slade, Mr. Garman, Mr. Brewster, Professor Hyatt and Dr. Fewkes, have all spent more or less time in supplying material and information to special students in their various departments. A number of students interested in Marine In- vertebrates accompanied Dr. Fewkes on several dredging ex- peditions. A number of additions have been made to the equipment of all our Laboratories. Excellent progress has been made since the spring on the extensive addition to the Museum Building, now well under 4 way. Adjoining the Natural History Laboratories, ample ac- commodation will be provided for the necessary room required thoroughly to fit up the Geological and Geographical Depart- ments. The funds necessary for this section of the University Museum have been advanced by the Corporation to the Mu- seum. Both this section and the large addition to be devoted to the Botanical Department will be under cover before the cold weather. Owing to the uncertainty of my movements during the past summer, I was unable to invite to the Newport Laboratory the class of students who usually avail themselves of its facilities. Messrs. Field, Kigefman, Woodworth, and Parker were, how- ever, able to avail themselves of the Museum Tables at the United States Fish Commission Station at Wood’s Holl. Pro- fessor Faxon occupied a Table at the Newport Laboratory for a time, devoting himself mainly to the Embryology of the Ma- crura; my own time was also given to the same subject, and to the development of Pelagic Fishes. A considerable amount of material for study was supplied to the Museum from Newport. I may mention Dr. Baur, Dr. Boas, Dr. Joubin, Messrs. Ridg- way and Scudder, and Professor Giard, among the persons to whom material for study has been sent. A number of exchanges have also been made, which are mentioned in the special Reports of the Museum Assistants. We have continued to send material from our American fossil Vertebrates to Professors Scott and Osborne. A number of spe- cialists have, as usual, made use of our collections, and carried on their work for the time in the Museum building. I have been obliged to refuse a number of applications for material to be sent away from Cambridge. Applications specially in Entomology, Paleontology, and Conchology have become so frequent, that, if granted, the whole time of the Assistants in these Departments would be given to selecting and replacing the material requested for study, leaving them no time to carry on their regular work. As our staff is not large enough to meet this demand, we shall be obliged in the future to limit the export of our material to single specimens, and the larger collections will have to be studied at the Museum. } The principal accessions of the Museum have been exchanges with the Stockholm Museum and the British Museum. From . the Smithsonian, we have received a fine skeleton of the Great Auk, from Funk Islands, admirably mounted by Mr. Lucas, and a number of monkeys from Dr. H.J. Bigelow. But by far the most valuable accession is the first instalment of the Hume Collection of Indian Birds, selected for the Museum, in accordance with the request of Mr. Hume, by the officers of the British Museum. Professor Flower kindly allowed Dr. Sharp to select from the duplicates the set intended for us by Mr. Hume, and this first instalment has reached us in excellent condition. I should also mention a most excellently preserved collection of Insects, mainly Lepidoptera, presented to us by the Messrs. Treat of Lawrence, Mass. From Professor Ward, we have continued such purchases as were needed to fill gaps in our Exhibition Rooms. Professors Osborng and Scott have returned to us a large part of the fossils sent them for study. Dr. Dobson has returned the Shrews sent him for examination; and the bulk of our collec- tion of Annelids, a part of which had been sent to the late Pro- fessor Kefertein, has been returned to us by Professor Ehlers, carefully determined, and forms a most valuable addition to our typical collections. The Annelids from the Pourtalés dredgings off Florida have also been returned by Professor Ehlers, the types of his great work on the “ Florida Annelids.”’ As will be seen from the Reports of the Assistants, the condi- tion of the collections continues to improve, and a number of gaps in our Exhibition Rooms have also been filled. I wish that I could also speak of some like progress in the arrangement of the Paleontological Exhibition Rooms. The sys- tem proposed for the collections is unique, and the result, I have no doubt, would be a most interesting addition to the rooms open to the public. A sum of at least fifteen thousand dollars would be required to complete the arrangement of the four rooms devoted to the Paleontological exhibit. At present the public can form no estimate of the value of our fossil collections, which are as yet barely accessible to the Assistant in charge. The Museum is again indebted to Messrs. Brewster, Cabot, and Slade, for their interest in their respective departments. Messrs. Brooks and Jackson have also rendered valuable aid to Professor Hyatt in the arrangement of the Paleontological Col- lections. Professor Faxon has kindly continued in charge of our 6 collection of Crustacea, and has spent much time in the arrange- ment of the Crustacea for the Atlantic Faunal Collection. The number of volumes added to the. Library during the past year is somewhat -larger than usual, being nearly 500 vol- umes, besides 1,700 parts of volumes and pamphlets. The in- crease is mainly due to a number of new exchanges, and to the filling of gaps in the series from several of the past Museum correspondents. Among the accessions to the Library, I may call attention to the purchase of Glover’s original drawings, and to unpublished plates of Caverly, presented by Professor Keener. A number of institutions have received from us as complete sets of our publications as it was possible to supply, and to various Marine Zodlogical Laboratories full sets of our publications re- lating mainly to Invertebrates and Fishes were sent. As will be seen by Appendix A, the publications of the Museum during the past academic year have been unusually numerous. We have published seven numbers of the Bulletin, and two volumes containing my General Report on the ‘ Cruises of the Blake.” One volume of the Memoirs, containing the Re- port of Professor Ernst Ehlers on the Deep-Sea Florida Anne- lids, has also been issued during the past year. The Museum is greatly indebted to Professor Ehlers for this exhaustive Mon- ograph, based upon the collections of Pourtalés and of the “ Blake.” No less than sixty plates accompany the Memoir, and Professor Ehlers spared no pains in superintending their execution. ‘The text was printed in German, and is a most cred- itable production, from the press of John Wilson and Son. This volume of Professor Ehlers, and the two volumes of “Cruises of the Blake,” had been in preparation a number of years. A list of the Bulletins and Memoirs now under way will be found appended to the List of Publications. They include an important memoir on the Genesis of the Arietidz, by Professor Hyatt; a paper on the Lateral Line of Selachians, by Mr. S. Garman, based upon material left by the late Professor Agassiz ; and the completion of the Report of Mr. Dall on the “ Blake” Mollusks; as well as other contributions to Zodlogy, which have already been mentioned in former Reports. To friends of the Harvard Annex we owe the plates which accompany Miss Mayo’s Bulletin, and to Professor W. D. Alex- i ander I am indebted for copies of Maps relating to the reefs of the Sandwich Islands. With each special Report which follows will be found a list of the publications of the Assistants of the Museum, of the publications based upon the materials of the institution, or of investigations carried on by the professors and students of the University in our Laboratories. I hoped: during the-past winter to avail myself of the kind invi- tation of Professor G. Brown Goode, Acting U.S. Fish Com- missioner, to join the ‘** Albatross” at Panama, and run a line of dredgings and soundings from Panama to the Galapagos. Un- fortunately, it was impossible for me to leave Cambridge, and in spite of the courtesy of Colonel M. Macdonald, U.S. Fish Com- missioner, in delaying the ‘‘ Albatross” at Panama, in hope that I might be able at the last moment to join her, I was obliged to abandon all idea of making the expedition. This was to me, of course, a great disappointment, as I had always hoped some time to be able to carry out such a line of dredgings as that run by the ‘* Albatross,” and to become as familiar with the deep sea fauna on the western side of the Isthmus as I was already with the eastern. Colonel Macdonald was, however, kind enough to promise me the collection of those orders of Echinoderms made by the “ Albatross,” to which I had paid most attention. And while these collections will not have the personal interest attached to those I made on the “ Blake,” I hope yet to be able to carry out for some groups of deep-sea Echinoderms the in- teresting comparisons which have been instituted on the riparian fauna of the two sides of the Isthmus of Panama. . The Museum is also specially indebted to Colonel Macdonald for the facilities enjoyed by students of the Museum at the Fish Commission Station at Wood’s Holl. It is to be hoped that the government will continue there its present liberal policy towards all students of marine Zodlogy, and that the immense resources for obtaining material may be utilized by the students and in- vestigators attached to the Natural History Laboratories of the country. A station of the greatest importance could thus read- ily be organized, by concerted action on the part of the Colleges of the country. In the past fifteen years I have been in the habit of supplying deficiencies for such expenditures as seemed to me essential for e 8 the rapid development of the institution. But it has now be- come evident that, while such a policy may have been useful in the early stages of the Museum, it has of late been rather a detriment to it than otherwise, as it was fast coming to be re- garded as my personal establishment. The demands upon my time for the administration of its affairs have become so great, that I must retire from active duty to devote myself to scientific work which I have too long neglected for the sake of bringing the Museum to the point it has reached. It is high time that I should withdraw, and that a younger man, more in sympathy with the prevailing tendency of science in this country, should endeavor to develop the Museum by increasing the interest of the friends of the University in its behalf. The original plans have now been so far accomplished that there remain to com- plete the Oxford Street fagade only one section and a half, and the southwest corner piece which is to meet the Peabody Museum wing. During the past year the expenses which I have been ac- customed to meet on account of the Museum have been so far reduced, that it will hereafter be possible for the Museum to live within its income. This will become practicable as soon as the indebtedness incurred for the Geological Laboratory and its equipment is paid off. Of course this will cut off expenses in many directions, — such as the purchase of collections, salaries for additional assistants, etc.; but these reductions need not in- terfere in the least with the efficiency of the Museum in the maintenance of its Laboratories, the care of its collections, or the hiberal and regular amount of its publications. The Mineralogi- cal Department and its collections would be admirably housed in the remaining section, and the corner piece could be devoted to such additional Laboratories and Lecture Rooms as come within the scope of the Natural History Department. The attention of the Visiting Committee of the Overseers was called to the necessity of additional Laboratories for the Geo- logical Department, in the hope that means might be raised to erect and equip the section of the building joining the Zodlogical and Paleontological Laboratories to the Botanical Laboratories. To avoid delay, the Corporation has advanced to the Museum the funds necessary for the erection of the shell of the con- necting section. But a very considerable sum, not less than 3) thirty thousand dollars, will be needed to equip it, and make the building ready for occupancy. It will take a number of years to repay this sum from the regular income of the Museum. A further debt of fifteen thousand dollars has also been incurred to secure additional land for the Museum grounds. ALEXANDER AGASSIZ. CAMBRIDGE, October 1, 1888. lo : 10 REPORT ON THE GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. By Jostau D. Wuitney, Sturgis-Hooper Professor of Geology. In this department a course of lectures (once a week, lasting through the College year) was delivered to teachers and others, the attendance averaging about twenty-five in number. The subject of this course was ‘* Geographical Methods and Results,” the history of American geographical discovery being made an especially prominent feature. The article “‘ United States,” written for the Encyclopedia Britannica, has made its appearance in the twenty-third volume of that work, and is now being reprinted, and will make a volume of about 400 octavo pages. This article contains a very condensed review of the physical geography and geology of the United States, and also an historical and statistical réswmé of the develop- ment of the mining interests of the country, which in the reprint now in press will, so far as is possible, be brought down to the end of the current year. This work is about half in type. A volume of about 250 pages (16mo) has been published during the year, entitled, ““ Names and Places,—Studies of Ge- ographical and Topographical Nomenclature.” The principal object of this volume is to explain the origin and meaning of names given to prominent topographical and scenic features, and especially to show how these words are used in this country, and how our topographical nomenclature has been affected and en- riched by the presence on our soil of various nationalities. As in previous years, a considerable amount of time has been. given to the preparation of definitions of words in geography, geology, lithology, mining, and metallurgy, for the Century Dic- tionary, these words having been defined in many cases with almost encyclopedic fulness. Some field-work has been done, chiefly in New England, in continuation of the investigation of the surface geology and 11 glacial deposits of Northeastern North America, mentioned in the last Report. The north side of the Mont Blanc group has also been visited, for the purpose of getting a clearer idea of the present condition of the glaciers in that region, where the de- crease in size of the masses of ice during the past forty years, common to the whole mountain system of Central Europe from the Pyrenees to the Caucasus, has excited great attention, not only as a matter of scenic interest, but as bearing on glacial theories in general. Some geological work was also done in Southwestern England, and a few of the mines of Devonshire were examined during a hasty trip through that interesting region.

In the Preface to the Zoolozischer Jahresbericht for 1886, the publications of the Museum of Com- parative Zodlogy are mentioned as among the periodicals given to irregular ways. While it is true, that, for the sake of keeping together the successive parts of an extended monograph, two or three vol- umes of the Memoirs and of the Bulletins of the Museum are frequently in the course of publication, yet care has always been taken to show on the title page of the completed volume the years which it covers, The Museum publications are not periodicals issued at fixed periods, — they must of necessity appear at irregular intervals, — but each number of the Memoirs and of the Bulletins is issued with a separate cover, showing the month of its publication and indicating plainly its relation to any volume of the series: Each number is distributed as soon as it comes from the binder to the various scientific socie- ties and specialists on the exchange list of the Museum. The author’s copies do not differ in any way from those distributed by the Museum, and are sent out at the same time. The practice of the Museum in regard to its publications does not differ from that of the most care- fully edited scientific periodicals. In addition to the indications of dates of publication to be found on the title pages of completed volumes, and on the covers of the separate numbers of the Memoirs and of | the Bulletins, the Museum has issued from time to time in its Annual Report a “ List of Publications,” giving the date of publication of each number of the Memoirs and Bulletins. It is hardly necessary to state that the Zodlogical Station at Naples, which edits the Zoologischer Jahresbericht, has always received from the Museum the material necessary for the dates of publica- tion of the Museum Memoirs and Bulletins. It may not be out of place to mention that the quarto publications of the Zodlogical Station at Naples are issued and dated upon the same plan which Dr. Mayer finds so undesirable in an American publication. 45 [C.J INVESTED FUNDS OF THE MUSEUM.

The accounts are annually ex- amined by a committee of the Museum Faculty. 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 Humboldt Fund can be applied for the benefit of one or more students of Natural History, either at the Museum, the Newport Marine Laboratory, or the United States Fish Commission Station at Wood’s Holl. Applications for the two Tables reserved for advanced students at the Newport Marine Laboratory, and for the Table at the Wood’s Holl Station, should be made to the Curator of the Museum before the Ist of May. Applicants should state their qualifications, and indicate the course of study they intend to pursue. ie te ee erie: ae ea ee ee 7: a eae en Se Re a w=. a 8 J NOTIN 3 2044 106 267 081 DATE DUE ttETG DEMCO, INC. 38-2931 ; as ( ws, ‘ ‘ r ii be OTT ade akdd gol + atin: ; . , ° ws spt tote ate ad is phe +4 . f . ‘ * des “ert seh ’ ‘ t ot rey ‘ ie Above }6 rptdinr slg ' ‘ oh at pL!
