Abstract
PROF. AGASSIZ' Report, dated October 188, has just reached us, and, as usual, it presents several topics of interest. Since the first section of the Museum was inaugurated in November 1860, the establishment has passed through many changes, and from being, at its origin, a State institution, it has gradually assumed that of an independent department of the Harvard College. While it has thus lost the immediate support of the State, it has gained the good will and interest of the students of the College, the class upon whom it must in a very great measure depend not only for its maintenance, but for its being a source of intellectual and scientific good.
