Excerpt from Annual Report of the Director of the Museum of Comparative Zo�logy at Harvard College to the President and Fellows of Harvard College for 1927-1928

The curator spent July and August of 1928 in studying the stratigraphy and collecting from the Ordovician and Devonian strata of Scotland and western England, the expenses Of the trip being paid by grants from the William and Adelaide Barbour fund and the Shaler Memorial fund. Very good collections, including many complete trilobites, were Obtained from the Ordovician Of the Gervan district, Ayrshire, and western Shropshire. We are greatly indebted to Mr. J ames Begg of Glasgow, for guidance in the former region, and to Dr. W. F. Whitland for introduction to many productive localities in Shropshire. Mr. Stetson has reported on the results of the work in the Devonian.

The addition of another room to the suite used for the storage and study Of invertebrate fossils has paved the way for a rearrange ment of the collections which, when completed, will make them much more readily accessible than' formerly. The greater part Of the winter was devoted to a preliminary sorting of the material.

In the first week in April the curator spoke to the Geological Section of the New York Academy of Science on the Structure of the Canadian Rockies, and gave a series of three lectures before the Geological Department at Columbia University.
