STUDIES IN PLANT LIFE AND PLANT GEOGRAPHY 



By E. J. Tabor, F.L.S. (Resident Science Lecturer), and 

 M. Wilson, B.Sc. Lond. 



The work of this course will be arranged on the assump- 

 tion that most of the students will have had some previous 

 training in elementary botany. 



Its objects will be to extend their knowledge of plants 

 in the field, and especially of the various plant associations 

 and their adaptation to their surroundings. For this 

 purpose excursions will be arranged to study the flora 

 of woods, ponds and streams, moors and heaths, fresh 

 and salt water marshes. 



An explanatory lecture, illustrated with lantern slides, 

 will be given on the eve of each excursion, in which the 

 special features to be noted in the next day's work will 

 be described. 



The special subject for this year's course will be 

 " Common British Trees and Shrubs," and on alternate 

 days laboratory work will be provided, in order that 

 students may become familiar with the distinguishing 

 characters of their leaves, twigs, buds, etc., to enable 

 them to identify these plants in summer and winter. 



Facilities will be provided for making collections of 

 common plants for subsequent reference. Students are 

 recommended to bring a flora and a vasculum;
