the collection of specimens of all orders and stages, aquatic and terrestrial ; office work in the preparation, labeling, and arrangement of collections; a systematic independent study of life histories of selected species, with full records, descriptions, and drawings ; experimental insecticide work, and library practice in the collection, collation, indexing, and abstracting of the literature of the species principally studied, concluding with a 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 zoological 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

Required: ZoOlogy 1, 2, or 5. 7.- ADVANCED ENTOMOLOGY.—Special courses will be arranged in either technical or practical entomology for students wishing to specialize extensively in this direction, and to such students the facilities of the State Laboratory of Natural History and of the State Entomologist's office will be freely open. Special provision will be made for the instruction and supervision of students desiring to fit themselves for the investigation of the contagious diseases of insects.

PRACTICAL ENTOMOLOGY.—This is a single term's work open, without conditions precedent, to University students, but offered for the special benefit of students in agriculture. By means of laboratory studies and lectures and field and insectary observations, students will be made familiar with the commonest and most important injurious insects, and with means of preventing or arresting their injuries. Spring term, full study.
