Announcement of the 



trailing arbutus, but there are areas of broad-leaf trees and shrubs. 

 About 650 species of flowering plants are known to occur in the 

 vicinity. A half mile south of the camp is a remarkable gorge 

 ending abruptly against a high bluff, from the bottom of which 

 issue numerous springs that yield more than a million gallons of 

 water a day and form a trout stream following 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. 



Although faunistic studies in this region have hardly begun and 

 no records are available for several of the larger groups, the fauna, 

 as listed, includes some 370 species representing practically every 

 phylum in the animal kingdom. 



GENERAL LIVING CONDITIONS. 



At a station of this character the general conditions of living 

 are necessarily somewhat unique. However, reasonable comfort, and 

 especially health, are carefully provided for. 



Board and Lodging. — Tents for the use of the students and staff 

 are pitched near the Station buildings. Each is erected over a per- 

 manent frame, and is waterproof, stormproof, and comfortable. Each 

 tent, 14 x 14 ft., accommodates a maximum of four persons and is 

 covered by a fly, provided with a wooden floor, and equipped with 

 mosquito bed-canopies, pail, tub, washstand. pitcher, bowl, table, 

 chairs, lantern, and straw-filled mattresses. Stoves will be supplied 

 if needed. Students will provide their own towels and bedding, and 

 those who prefer to do so may bring their own tents. Such tents 

 must be pitched in accordance with the regulations of the Station 

 and all will be subject to inspection. 



Space in tents is allotted in advance upon receipt of the reserva- 

 tion fee of eight dollars, or after registration. The attempt is made 

 to place congenial people together. Students will find the tents 

 ready for occupancy, but are expected to care for them personally 

 during the session. 



Mrs. Max M. Ellis, Dean of Women, has general supervision of 

 the women's quarters, and is ready at any time to advise women stu- 

 dents. 



Board at the Station is furnished on the cooperative plan, under 

 the direction of a stewardess approved by the University. She pur- 

 chases all the supplies, plans the daily menu, and has general super- 

 vision of the kitchen and mess tent. It is planned to furnish board 

 at about $4.25 per week. Members of the Station are not permitted 

 to cook their own meals.* 



* In order to make possible the purchase of supplies at low cash prices, 

 each member of the Station must, on arrival, deposit with the stewardess 

 thirty-five dollars in cash or draft. Students leaving before the close of 

 the session will receive full rebate of their unexpended portion, and all 

 excess will be returned to others at the close of the season.
