UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. extended by the study of the text-book and by lectures. Special attention is given to injurious fungi. The third term is devoted to vegetable physiology and includes: the extent and causes of the movements of fluids in the tissues, the absorption of nutrient materials, respiration, transpiration, and assimilation; the causes, peculiarities, and results of growth; the relations and effects of external agencies, as heat, light, gravitation; self- and cross-fertilization; variation and heredity; movements and sensitiveness. The instruction is given by lectures and recitations, supplemented by required observations and experimental practice. Bessey's Botany; Goebel's Outlines of Classification and Special Morphology; Vine's Lectures on Vegetable Physiology. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Chemistry, i; Art and Design, 4.

2. Bacteriology.—Bacteria and allied organisms are now known to play exceedingly important roles in nature, and in the daily life and well being of man. This course is an introduction to existing knowledge upon the subject, and offers instruction in the modern methods of experimentation and research. The laboratory is well equipped for a limited number of students. Only those who can give extra time, when occasion demands, should undertake the work. Lectures and assigned reading accompany the laboratory work. Fall term, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Botany, 1, or 6; Chemistry, 1; Art and Design, 4. 3. Systematic Botany.—There is offered in this course an opportunity for advanced work in special groups of cryptogamic plants to which an introduction is made in the winter term of course 1. The determination and classification of species and studies upon life histories largely occupy the time. The methods of bacteriology are used in the cultivation of fresh material. Students who propose to take the course should give notice of the fact at the beginning of the year or earlier, and should make collections for themselves. Laboratory work constitutes the principal part of the course. Winter term, full study. Professor BURRILL. Required: Botany, 1, 2; Chemistry, 1; Art and Design, 4. 4. Plant Reproduction and Development.—Studies are made upon selfand cross-fertilization, embryology, and development,- and upon special topics in physiology. Laboratory work supplemented by
