•ering 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 

 <lry, 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 is 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- 

 Tiour courses, one-quarter; the special courses may take 

 any part or the whole of the time. In all courses at least 

 Tialf the time is spent in the field. The work of research 

 students will be arranged in accordance with the nature 

 •of the problem selected. 



FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION. 



The buildings of the Station include a large and com- 

 modious frame laboratory, two smaller log buildings, a 

 tent laboratory, and an aquarium shelter. These are com- 

 fortably fitted with the necessary furniture, and are used 

 for recitations, laboratory work, offices, and research. The
