RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION 
The facilities for research and graduate instruction have 
been materially strengthened by the addition to the labora- 
tory Fagin of important pieces of apparatus needed 
especially in physiological investigation. The installation 
of a commodious hood and canopy makes possible several 
types of work, the execution of which was formerly attended 
with much inconvenience. 
The completion of the small range of greenhouses, con- 
structed primarily for experimental purposes, to which refer- 
ence has already been made, affords a much needed adjunct 
to the laboratory work. 
Instruction, Lectures, Ete—The graduate and under- 
— courses offered during 1914-15 in the Henry Shaw 
chool of Botany by members of the staff who are at the 
same time members of the ay of Washington Univer- 
sity, were thirteen in number. No new courses were intro- 
duced during this academic year, and it may be said that 
those now offered are so related and stabilized: as to suggest 
that few changes will need to be made in the immediate 
future. The courses regularly announced included work in 
general botany, biology (in codperation with the department 
of zodlogy), histology, bacteriology, morphology and taxon- 
only of the fungi, morphology and taxonomy of the sperma- 
tophytes, morphology and taxonomy of the bryophytes and 
pteridoph , plant geography, advanced physiology, special 
chapters in fermentation and in metabolism, seminar, and 
research in morphology, taxonomy, hysiology, and applied 
mycology. For the semester of 1915-16 twelve courses
