Minerology.—Fourteen weeks; about six weeks are occupied in lectures on crystallography; Nauman's system of symbols is used and explained. A collection of models, comprising the most important forms and combinations in the Tarious systems of crystalization, is used for illustration and study. The remainder of the term is occupied by the descriptive determination of minerals, and the use of the blowpipe. The cabinet of minerals contains a valuable and extensive collection of leads of the state, and a very considerable collection of other minerals, American and foreign. Physiography.—This name is given to the work of the term in the senior year. The purpose is to gather the lines of investigation, previously followed in the development of the physical and natural sciences, into a consistent whole, culminating in a natural history of the earth and its inhabtants, including Anthropology; an account of the past and present distribution of plants and animals; and an explanation of the general phenomena of meteorology and climatology.
