lons of water a day and form a trout stream which fol- 
lows the gorge to Burt Lake. This gorge is several 
hundred feet wide and its bottom and sides present con- 
ditions for a great variety of plants and animals, from 
water and bog in the stream’s path through rich, moist 
ground 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 im- 
posed by a university schedule. Instruction will be limit- 
ed 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 will be 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 stu- 
dent’s time, the two-hour courses, one-quarter; the spec- 
ial courses may take any part or the whole of the time. 
Although a regular schedule of work will be adopted, 
this will be varied whenever the nature of the material 
or the weather conditions make this advisable. In all 
courses at least half the time will be spent in the field. 
The work of research students will be arranged in ac- 
cordance with the nature of the problem selected. 
FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION: 
The necessary scientific equipment for field and labor- 
atory work, a launch, row-boats, collecting apparatus, 
nets, traps, cameras, field glasses, microscopes and ac- 
cessories, and books are provided by the University. 
Indoor work will be done in a substantial log building and 
a tent laboratory. 
GRADUATE WORK. 
Graduate students, who are regularly matriculated in 
the University and properly registered with the Secretary
