BOTANY 147 2. BACTEBIOLOGY.—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 BUEEILL and Mr. HOTTES. Required: Botany 1 or 6 ; Chemistry 1. 3. SYSTEMATIC BOTANY.—There is offered in this course an opportunity for advanced work upon selected groups of plants, including the collection and preservation of specimens, the identification and description of species, and studies upon systematic affinities. The course extends through two terms, and should be taken as laid down, though there is little essential relation of sequence between the work of the two terms. The morphology and affinities of selected orders of flowering plants, herbaria and herbarium methods, studies upon the evolution of the vegetable world, are included in the work of the first term. The second term is devoted to cryptogamic plants, and the time is largely occupied in the determination and classification of species, together with studies upon life histories. Students who propose to take this term's work should arrange with the instructor at the beginning of the year or earlier, and should make collections for themselves. Mostly laboratory work. Fall and winter terms, full study. Professor BUEEILL and Mr. CLINTON. Required: Botany 1. 4. REPEODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT.—Special experi- mental and research work in vegetable physiology, embryology, and life histories. Mostly laboratory work. Spring term, full study. Professor BUEEILL and Mr. HOTTBS. Required: Botany 1. 5. INVESTIGATION 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
