The Relation of Mollusks to Fish in Oneida Lake 1} 
After the instructional work at the College was under way 
in the fall of 1912, preliminary studies were carried through 
with the idea of laying out definite plans for both the educa- 
tional work of the ¢ ‘ollege and its investigational work. By 
its Charter the College is obliged to do both educational and 
research work in for estry. The foresters who came to the 
College in 1911 and 1912 were so occupied with the 
organization of teaching work and the general educational 
work through the State, that the plans laid out for them 
along inv Epica Gone lines could not be touched during the 
first year. Fortunately, upon consultation with the Depart- 
ments of Botany and Zoology in the College of Liberal Arts 
of the University, men were found who cota give a part of 
their time to the beginning of investigative work planned 
by the College. Dr. William L. Bray, in charge of the 
Department of Botany in the College of Raber ‘al Arts of the 
University, began in 1912 the studies of the dev elopment of 
the vegetation of the State which have been Sch com- 
pleted and which have resulted in part in the report issued 
in November, 1915, on “ The Development of the Vegetation 
of New York State.” Dr. William M. Smallwood, of the 
Department of Zoology of the College of Liberal Arts, who 
has spend many summer seasons in the Adirondacks, beeame 
interested at once in the study of the fish of the Adirondacks 
and his field studies in 1911 and 1912 resulted in the first 
technical bulletin issued by the College. This is entitled 
* Preliminary Report on Diseases of Fish in the Adiron- 
dacks, a Contribution to the Life History of Clnostomum 
Marginatum.” 
The student body of the College developed so rapidly in 
1912 and 1913 that it became advisable to establish within 
the College a Department of Forest Zoology and Entomology, 
and this Department is now in charge of Dr. M. W. Black- 
a Forest Entomologist. In the fall of 1914, Dr. Charles 
C. Adams came to the College from the University of Tli- 
nois, to take charge of the rae in forest zoology, which it is 
desirable to dev elop i in the Department. It then became pos- 
sible to emphasize in the training of forestry students that
