THE BIOLOGICAL STATION OF THE 
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 
A Station for Instruction and Research in Biology will 
be maintained by the University of Michigan, for the 
fourth season, as a part of its regular Summer Session, 
during the eight weeks from July 2 to August 23 inclu- 
‘Sye. TO12. 
LOCATION. 
The Station will be located near the Bogardus Engi- 
neering Camp of the University on a tract of about 1,666 
acres of land owned by the University and stretching 
from Douglas Lake to Burt Lake in Cheboygan County, 
Michigan, 17 miles south of the Straits of Mackinac. 
This region, diversified by hills and valleys, was formerly 
covered by forests of hardwoods and conifers. Small 
tracts of the former still remain. It contains many lakes 
of clear water, unsurpassed in the state for size, depth, 
and beauty of setting. The elevation of the camp, between 
one and two hundred feet above Lake Michigan, in- 
sures cool nights and makes the location favorable for 
hay fever sufferers. 
Six miles to the west of the camp on the Grand Rapids 
and Indiana Railway is the nearest railway station, Pells- 
ton, a town of some 1,300 inhabitants with a bank and a 
variety of retail establishments. Fifteen miles to the 
northeast is Cheboygan on the Michigan Central Rail- 
way. A state road connects these points and passes near 
the station. Except for two small summer resorts on 
Douglas Lake the region for miles about is almost unin- 
habited. Douglas Lake is two and one-half miles wide 
and nearly four miles long. Its shores are everywhere 
wooded, in some places low and receding, in others rising 
in terraced bluffs 70 feet above the lake. ‘The beach is of 
clean sand and the sandy lake bottom slopes gradually 
into deep water, affording ideal conditions for bathing 
and boating.
