lectures and assigned reading. Strasburger's Practical Botany; Detnier's Pflanzenphysiologisches Prakticum. Spring term, full study.

Professor BURRILL.

Required: Botany, i; Chemistry, i; Art and Design, 4. 5. Investigations and Thesis.—Facilities are offered for original investigations upon selected subjects upon which may be based a thesis required for a degree. Special arrangements should be made with the instructor during the preceding year or at least not later than the beginning of the year in which the work is to be taken. Laboratory •work, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Botany, 1; Chemistry, 1; Art and Design, 4. 6. General Botany.—This minor course is offered to students who have but a single term of botanical study. An endeavor is made to present a general view of the science and to provide an introduction to modern methods of work. Lectures are given and two to four hours a week of laboratory field work are required. Spring term, full

study. Miss BARBER. ZOOLOGY.

Zoology is taught in five courses: (1) a major course (restricted elective) of a full year, two hours a day, primarily for students of natural science; (2) a term of embryology for those who have taken course 1; (3) two terms (senior) for those who have taken courses 1 and 2, and who select a zoological subject for the graduating thesis; (4) a year's work (open elective) in systemetic zoology, for advanced students only; and (5) a general course of single term, offered as a minor course in the school of natural science and as an elective to the students of the University at large. 1. General Zoology, Major Course.—It is the immediate object of this major elective course to make working zoologists, and its secondary object is to draw from zoological science its distinctive discipline as an element in a liberal education. It is planned with a view to giving to students a wide acquaintance with the methods of zoological research in field, laboratory, and library, and a sound and accurate knowledge of zoological theory and of the leading facts of observation and experiment upon which such theory rests. The first practical work of the fall term (on the earthworm and on Hydra) is made an introduction to the special methods of the zoological laboratory. The remainder of the term is given to the Protozoa and Ccelenterata, the former of which are studied at length in the laboratory and lecture room in respect to their structure, physiology,_ and classification; their relations to plants; and
