THE Fourth Annual Announce

THE Fourth Annual Announce
~ ment of the Marine Station or
the University Of Washington" is the
title of a neat little illustrated folder
outlining the approaching summers
work of the school of biology here,
from June "a to August 2.
The staff of instructors will include
DR.. 7. c. Frye, professor of botany in
the state university, who will be in
charge; Dr. Chas. W. Prentiss, as
sistant professor Of zoology in the
same Institution, and DR.. Henry G.
Cowles, assistant professor of botany
in the University of Chicago
DR.. Cowles will deliver course of
ten or twelve lectures on plant ecol-
ogy and will conduct q few elementary
field trips. He is recognized as the
foremost ecologist in America man
of energy and enthusiasm, and a fine
lecturer. He will be accompanied by
a number of his students from Chica-
go. He has spent a year in Europe
studying geological conditions in the
Alps and elsewhere, and g6es to
Alaska in August for the same pur-
pose. Since geology considers the re-
lation of plants to their environment,
it is interesting and valuable both to
those in graded schools and in high
schools.
DR.. Frye will offer work in the an
alysis Of Towering plants and mosses,
and in the classification of sea-weeds
to their families. 1t is advised that
students limit their attention in this
work to one of the three groups mem
toned.
DR.. Prentiss will offer course in
which the chief aim will be to give az
comprehensive knowledge as prac--
ticable of the animal life Of the local
ity. Collection, preservation, and
Identification of animals, together
with observations on habitat and re-
lation to environment will be the
major part of the work.
Professor Kincaid, who had charge
of the work here the first ard third
year, and who is rapidly becoming
one of the most distinguished zool0
gists in America, will have charge Of
the biological work at the university
this summer, at the conclusion Of
which he will go on a mountain trip
among the Olympics. After that he
