Your curator gave 29 lectures during the year before

3000 people, and gave one talk over radio station WOSU, be-

sides leading a number of field-trips for various scientific

organizations. During the last meeting of the Ohio Academy

of Science, he was appointed chairman of the Committee on

State Parks and Conservation and chairman of one other

committee. He published a paper in the Annals of the Ento-

mological Society of America on a little known species of Orth-

optera discovered in Ohio. Mr. Charles F. Walker of this

Department published two papers on Amphibia, gave several

lectures, a talk over radio station WOSU and led several

field-trips for scientific organizations. He has been elected

president of the Wheaton (Scientific) Club of Columbus for

the ensuing year.

In spite of the lack of funds, a number of valuable books

on natural history have been secured for the library by ex-

changing our duplicates for them.

Respectfully submitted,

EDWARD S. THOMAS,

Curator of Natural History.
