The university OF Montana biolog-
lea! collcc .::y party spend this week
ana next i. The Swan lake country,
where they resume their work in the
field, after a few days at the station
at the head of Flathead lake, where
their material collected during the
past two weeks was given proper at
tentiOn.
The party will visit Echo and Mud
lakes, afterward going to the head of
Swan lake, returning to the station in
time to take care of the students, who
will arrive for the work to begin July
%.
No collecting of consequence has
been done on or near Mud, Echo or
Swan lakes and it is expected that the
result will not only prove interesting
but that many new discoveries will
be made. The party is well equipped
with material for taking plants, in
sects, birds and water life, cameras
with hundreds of plates, two boats,
pumps, with which to take deep water
specimens and all necessary applian-
ces.
DIR. D. T. MacDougal, of the New
York Botanical garden, is having
great success in his collecting. Dur
ing June he collected over 500 speci
mems of plants, the largest number
he ever secured in one month. Most
of the collecting was done in the Mis-
sion range where very little botanical
collecting has ever been done. He ex-
poets that the trip to the Swan lake
district will produce rich results.
Prof. Silloway has added several
birds to the list found in the Mission
range and in the western part of the
state and is highly elated over his
finds and the good material for study
which he has collected.
Professors Elrod and Kicker have
made number of discoveries and col
lected many insects new to the local
ity, among which is a supposed new
dragon fly, the mosquitoes most for
midable enemy. Their success in
photograDhing throughout the district
has been most flatering, as a result
the country through which they have
passed will be pictured for the en-
| lightment of eastern readers in nu.
merous eastern publications.
| Prof. Harris, who is making Botan-
| ical investigation is collecting many
valuable specimens and is one of the
hardest workers of the party.

During a temporary absence o
