give a store of information from which to draw in nature study subjects. 

 The general courses also give opportunity to students and others to pur- 

 sue lines of study with better facilities for out-door work with fresh ma- 

 terial, than is generally to be had in regular university work. 



The expeditions are primarily to give opportunity for the study of 

 animals and plants in their natural environment. By this means more 

 lasting interest is aroused, and more accurate information is obtained. 



LECTURES. 



Almost every day a lecture on some biological topic will be given at 

 the laboratory. Some of the lectures given in 1902 have been in- 

 corporated in Bulletin University of Montana, Biological Series No. 5. 

 Thirteen lectures, covering 90 pages, with 5 plates and 27 figures, are 

 included. 



The following lectures will be given during the coming session: 



The Debt of Science to Lewis and Clark, with Stereopticon. 



The Forests of Flathead Valley. 



Montana's Agricultural Water Supply, with Stereopticon. 



Studies in Alpine Life, with Stereopticon. 



The Mosquito Problem. 



The Place of Field Work in Scientific Study. 



The Mission Mountains, with Stereopticon. 



Evolution of Plant Forms, with Stereopticon. 



Evolution of Plant Reproduction, with Stereopticon. 



Elementary Forestry. 



Plant Societies of the Noi'thwest. 



The Coniferae. 



Seed Dispersal. 



The Ancient History of America. 



The History of a River and Some Waterfalls. 



The effects of Glaciation on a Region, and Some Glacial Lakes. 



Mountains and Volcanoes. 



Some Coast Forms. 



Mountaineering. 



The Deep Sea. 



EXCURSIONS. 



The following excursions will be taken during the session of 1906, 

 unless the weather is unfavorable: 



1. A trip to Swan Lake, through the forests, with stop over night 

 at the lake. This is a beautiful lake in the mountains, of great interest 

 biologically and geologically. 



2. A trip to Rost Lake, at the base of the Kootenay Mountains. This 

 is a lake almost filled up, a fine collecting field. It is an admirable 

 location for camps. 



3. An ascent of MacDougal Peak via an Indian trail, to an altitude 

 of 7,725 feet. This will afford opportunity for alpine collecting, and will 

 present some of the most sublime scenery in the world. 



4. A trip around Flathead Lake, making study of its banks, bays, 

 and swamps.
