UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

thesis on a single species studied both biologically and experimentally. Special instruction is given in this course in the art of entomological illustration, under the- supervision of an expert natural history artist. It is intended that the student shall come through this course accomplished in all the methods of the zoological laboratory as applied to entomology, competent to determine, to draw, and to describe species, and experienced in the various operations of field, laboratory, library, and economic entomology. Winter and spring terms, full study. Professor FORBES and Mr. JOHNSON. Required: Zoology 1 or 2. 5. Embryology.—A course in comparative vertebrate embryology is offered in the winter term. The laboratory work will be chiefly devoted to the practical study of the development of the chick. The student will become familiar with approved methods of sectioning, reconstruction from sections, and other means of embryological study. The more general features of vertebrate embryology will be covered by lectures and required reading. Winter term, full

study. Mr. SMITH.

Required: Zoology 1, 2, or 3. 6. Advanced Zoology.—To students who have had course 1, 2, or 3, an opportunity is offered for a year's work, two hours a day, in advanced zoology, to be taken individually under the guidance of an instructor. It may be closely adapted to the bent and ability of the student. Three main lines of work will, however, be especially provided for: (1) Systematic zoology (including paleontology), with field and laboratory work in the collection, determination, and description of species; (2) oecological studies with a basis in field observations and laboratory experimentation; (3) comparative anatomy and embryology, or other morphological work. A full study of the theory of development, with application in detail to the genealogy of some group of animals is recommended for all students in this course. Very unusual facilities for the work of this year are at hand in the library and collections of the State Laboratory of Natural History, which occupy rooms convenient to those of the zoological department of the University. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Professor FORBES. Required: Zoology 1, 2, or 3.
