ering material for the present report. They give but a scant 

 idea of the great variety and picturesqueness of these streams. 

 Within easy walking distance of the campus are streams of 

 all degrees of swiftness and of all sizes from the large creek 

 to the tiny rivulet. The two creeks that bound the campus 

 on the north and on the south, flow gently in their upper reaches 

 and again on the flats below, but they descend the steeps of 

 East hill in a succession of cascades. 



The workers at the station who were more or less directly 

 participating in its operations were the following: 



1 Professor C. Betten, of Buena Vista College, la., special 

 collector of Trichoptera for the Cornell University collection. 

 Rearing caddis flies and stone flies and running trap lanterns 

 for the station. 



2 Mr O. A. Johannsen of Cornell University, graduate stu- 

 dent in entomology. Collecting and rearing nematocerous

The excellent companionship of this body of enthusiastic stu- 

 dents, the satisfactory and regular progress of daily routine^ 

 the fine facilities of the laboratory, the rich library, the accessi- 

 bility of good collecting grounds, the suitableness of the equip- 

 ment of the station, the beauty of the environment, and the 

 weekly diversion of the meetings of the Jugata>^ made the ses- 

 sion one long to be remembered. Its work was done under 

 exceptionally pleasant circumstances.
