The new laboratory is a two-story building, 23 x 98 feet, with front extension 

 of 18>4 X 25 feet. There are two large lecture rooms, four large laboratories, 

 IS small rooms for investigation, an office and a dark room. The equipment

fauna and flora. The microscopes, microtomes, other apparatus, and library are 

 supplied from the Ohio State University laboratories. 



It would be very difficult to find a region with a richer fauna and flora than 

 the region of the Sandusky Bay. The bay with its many marshes, and the rivers 

 and creeks emptying into it, the open waters of the lake, the many islands, 

 Cedar Point which is really a large sand bar separating the bay from the lake. 



and the prairies and forest lands to the south, all present conditions favorable 

 to the development of a rich fauna and flora. The location of the laboratory is 

 at a point easily accessible to collections of all kinds of fresh water and land 

 forms of this latitude. It is very doubtful if it is possible to find a point where 

 the fauna and flora are found in greater variety and abundance, and where they 

 are more accessible than from the Lake Laboratory.
