COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. 95 For students of this course very unusual facilities are at hand in the library and collections of the State Laboratory of Natural History, which occupy rooms adjoining those of the zoological department of the University. One year, 10 hours a week. Professor FOKBBS. Required: Zoology, 1. 5. General Zoology, Minor Course.—For the benefit of students of natural science specializing in some other direction, as well as for literary students desiring some general knowledge of zoology, a course of a single term is offered which contains enough laboratory and descriptive work to give a practical idea of the method of zoological science, and a sufficient number of lectures, with study of text, to cover the general subject in a cursory manner. Principal attention is paid to the Protozoa, to insects, and to birds. Winter term, 10 hours a week. Professor FOEBES. The texts most frequently used in the foregoing courses are Sedgwick's Claus, in general zoology, Haddon's Introduction to the Study of Embryology, and Foster and Balfour's Elements, in embryology. The dissections and other morphological studies are made with the aid of laboratory manuals prepared in the department and furnished to students in cyclostyle print.

A very full series of laboratory guides and manuals is at hand for reference. Winter and spring terms, 10 hours a week. Professor FOBBES. Required: Zoology, 1. ENTOMOLOGY. 1.
