mud puppy), the bald eagle, and the ant-lion. The flora 
is noted for the number of species of heaths and orchids, 
including several rare forms. About 550 species of 
flowering plants are known to occur in the vicinity. A 
half mile south of the camp is a remarkable gorge which 
ends abruptly against a bluff some seventy feet high. 
From the bottom of the bluff there issue numerous 
springs which yield more than a million gallons of water 
a day and form a trout stream which follows the gorge 
to Burt Lake. This gorge is several hundred feet wide 
and its bottom and sides present conditions for a great 
variety of plants and animals, from water and bog in the 
stream’s path through rich, moist grounds on both flanks 
to the dry, sandy sides of the ascent. 
PLAN OF WORK. 
It is not the purpose of the Station to duplicate the 
work offered at the University, but to provide facilities 
for field work of a sort that cannot be so well carried on 
under urban conditions or with the limitations imposed 
by a university schedule. Instruction is limited to the 
courses announced, but qualified students may arrange 
to follow other lines by electing the special courses. A 
student may give his entire time to either botany or 
zoology or may divide it between these subjects, but no 
student 1s permitted to take the work for more than eight 
hours University credit. Each of the four-hour courses 
is planned to take one-half the student’s time, the two- 
hour courses, one-quarter; the special courses may take 
any part or the whole of the time. Although a regular 
schedule of work is adopted, this is varied whenever the 
nature of the material or the weather conditions make 
this advisable. In all courses at least half the time is 
spent in the field. The work of research students will 
be arranged in accordance with the nature of the problem 
selected.
