of a study of types representing the most important phyla 

 in the animal kingdom. The animals are studied from 

 the standpoint of structure, function, and development, 

 and the student is given opportunity to study the habits 

 and activities of animals in the various groups. In the 

 field, emphasis is laid upon the relation of animals ta 

 their environment. The student is trained in inde- 

 pendent observation, becomes acquainted with methods 

 of study both in the laboratory and in the field, and ob- 

 tains information which will serve as a foundation for 

 advanced zoological courses. 



Wednesday and Friday. Four hours credit. Dr. Cort. 



No prerequisite. 



This course does not give credit to graduate students. 

 Taken together, this course and Botany i offer eight 

 hours work in biology, open to all students without prere- 

 quisite, and substantially equivalent to General Biology at 

 the University. 



BOTANY. 



i. Field and Forest Botany. — The work of this 

 course is designed to give the student a general familiar- 

 ity with the plant life of the region, with the names and 

 habits of the commoner species, and with the correlation 

 between their habits and structure. The work consists 

 chiefly of field trips, supplemented by laboratory exer- 

 cises and lectures. In the field the student becomes fa- 

 miliar with the trees, the shrubs, the aquatics, the ferns, 

 the insectivorous plants, the orchids, and some of the 

 herbaceous plants of the region, and with the plant asso- 

 ciations in which they grow. The effect on the vegeta- 

 tion of certain external factors, such as soil, water, and 

 light, the adaptation of plants to winter conditions, the 

 cross pollination of flowers by insects, the dissemination 

 of seeds, and other similar subjects are demonstrated. 

 In the laboratory a study is made of the structure of 

 some plants, with chief attention to the relation between 

 the form of the plant and the environment in which it 

 lives.
