GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

tunity for individual advanced work for one or two semesters along lines to be selected in consultation with the instructor. It may include field and systematic zoology, or a laboratory course in mammalian anatomy, but is otherwise essentialy a research course for students specializing in zoology or entomology. One semester of this course or Zoology 6 will be required of all intending to graduate with a zoological thesis. If five or more students offer for the same work under this head they will receive class instruction, but otherwise students in this course will commonly be assembled as a class only for seminary work. From those taking this course selection of student assistants for the zoological and entomological laboratories will commonly be made, credit being given on the course for such assistance according to the recommendation of the head of the department, subject to the approval of the college faculty. /. and II.; arrange time; (5 each semester).

ELEMENTARY ENTOMOLOGY.—This is a laboratory and lecture

course in general entomology, open to all University students, pursued without especial reference to economic ends, complete in itself, but leading to the course in general entomology (Zoology 6). The laboratory work is strictly entomological, but the lecture course is in great measure a course in general biology, with entomological illustrations. / . ; daily; 1 and 2; (5). Professor FORBES.

6. GENERAL ENTOMOLOGY.—This is a course of two semesters,

the work in either of which may be taken separately, offered to students who have had a sufficient amount of elementary zoology as a preparation. It comprises laboratory and library studies, field work, insectary work, field observation, the collection and preservaton of specimens, and the preparation and illustration of manuscript. Special instruction is given in this course in the art of entomological illustration under the supervision of an expert zoological artist. This course, or one semester of zoology 4, will be required of all intending to graduate with a zoological thesis. /. and II.;
