The University of California will offer a special course of twenty 

 lectures on forestry this summer, at Idyllwild, in the main pine belt on San 

 Jacinto Mountain, Riverside county. This resort is situated in the midst of a 

 country rich in forest flora, which is immediately available for illustrations. 

 Dr. Willis L.Jepson, of the department of botany, and Professor Arnold V. 

 Stubenrauch, of the department of agriculture, have been detailed to take 

 charge of the work. It is hoped that Mr. Gifford Pinchot, who is in charge | 



of the U. S. Bureau of Forestry, will give some additional lectures on special 

 topics. 



Harvard University and New York University unite with the 



Bermuda Natural History Society in inviting botanists and zoologists to spend 

 six weeks in the temporary biological station provided for the present season 

 at Bermuda. The total expense, including transportation from New York 

 and return, and board and lodging for six weeks at Bermuda, will be $ioo. 

 The Bermuda Natural History Society has undertaken to provide facilities 

 for collecting, namely, a steam launch, with crew ; a sail boat with fish-well 

 and crew; three row boats; and a two-horse carriage capable of carrying 

 ten or twelve persons. The laboratory will be equipped with necessary 

 reagents and utensils except microscopes and dissecting instruments, which 

 should be brought by each investigator. There are two possible dates of 

 sailing from New York; June 20 and July 4, The laboratory will be opened 

 for those who sail on June 20 and will remain open eight weeks, thus provid- 

 ing for those who cannot sail until July 4. Circulars and detailed information 

 will be supplied on application either to Professor C. L. Bristol, Univer- 

 sity Heights, New York city, or to Professor E. L. Mark, lOg Irving street, 

 Cambrids^e, Mass.
