GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES PRACTICAL ENTOMOLOGY.—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. I. and II.; daily; 6 and 7; (5). Professor FORBES. 8. THESIS INVESTIGATION.—Candidates for graduation in the College of Science who select a zoological subject as a thesis are required to spend three hours a day during their senior vear in making an investigation of some selected zoological subject. While this work is done under the general supervision of an instructor, it is in its methods and responsibilities essentially original work. /. and II.; daily; arrange time; (5). Professor FORBES and Assistant Professor KCFOID. Required: Two years in zoological courses, including one semester of zoology 4. COURSES FOR GRADUATES 101. SYSTEMATIC AND FAUNISTIC ZOOLOGY.—This course con- sists of studies of invertebrate animals (including insects), and of aquatic vertebrates, so directed as to give as nearly as possible an exhaustive knowledge of a taxonomic group or of a selected geographic assemblage. If a suitable taxonomic group is chosen, its space and number relations within a definite area will be thoroughly worked out by the precise methods of modern faunistic zoology, including quantitative collections made by uniform methods at regular periods, and the comparative measurement or enumeration of such collections. If a geographic assemblage be selected, critical determinative work will be followed by both qualitative and quantitative studies of the various groups associated, with a view to accumulating data for an examination of the interactions of the assemblage. 102. ADVANCED ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY.—This is a research course in systematic and experimental entomology which involves the application to insects injurious to agriculture and horticulture of the methods and general ideas of the preceding course. It is intended to prepare students in a thoroughgoing manner for firstclass investigation work in this field, and for the direction of entomological operations in agricultural experiment stations.
