THF 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 

 seventh season, as a part of its regular Summer Session, 

 during the eight weeks from June 28 to August 20, in- 

 clusive, 1915. 



LOCATION. 



The Station is located near the Bogardus Engineer- 

 ing Camp of the University on a tract of about 2,200 

 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, be- 

 tween one and two hundred feet above Lake Michigan, 

 insures cool nights and makes the location favorable for 

 hay fever sufferers. 



Six miles to the west of the camp on the Grand Rap- 

 ids and Indiana Railway is the nearest railway station. 

 Pellston, 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
