of the text, rather than its slave. Use will be made of the unexcelled informational opportunities which the Bay region affords through Saturday visits to the plants of the various industrial activities thereabouts. Throughout the course much attention will be given to methods of presenting the material of geography to the children of the grades. Particular consi.ieration will be given to the use of the present state-series texts in this connection. Those taking the course will be expected to become familiar through use with the juvenile books which are best adapted to supplementary purposes. 2 units. M Tu W Th F, 11. 16 North Hall. CHEMISTRY. WALTER CHARLES BLASDALE, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Chemistry. The chemical laboratories will be open daily, except Saturdays, from 9 to 1.

Elementary Chemistry. Assistant Professor BLASDALE. A general introduction to the Science of Chemistry designed to present the essential facts and principles of the subject, but especially those which form an essential part of a general education. The course will consist of a series of experimentally illustrated lectures and of a limited amount of experimental work to be executed by the student himself in the laboratory. Arrangements will be made for weekly excursions to some of the larger manufacturing plants illustrating chemical processes on a large scale, which are in operation in the neighborhood. The course is equivalent to Matriculation Chemistry 12b. M Tu W Th F, 11. 217 Chemistry Building. 2. Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Assistant Professor BLASDALE. The opportunity will be given to a limited number of properly qualified students to undertake experimental work of an advanced character along the line of inorganic and physical chemistry. This may take the form of the study of a special problem of an original character. University credit, not to exceed three units, may be given for the course to properly qualified students. BOTANY.

The forms of plants, their structure, and general biology with especial reference to the influence of environment. 2 units. M Tu W Th F, 10. 25 North Hall. 5. Plant Physiology and Elementary Agriculture. Assistant Professor OSTERHOUT. The fundamental principles of plant physiology and their application to agriculture. Methods of experiment will be given for the use of teachers of botany, nature study, and agriculture. 2 units. M Tu W Th F, 11. 25 North Hall. 6. Laboratory Course in Plant Physiology. Mr. GARDNER. Experiments with very simple apparatus illustrating the more im portant activities of plants. Especial attention will be paid to soils and bacteria.

CHARLES ATWOOD KOFOID, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Histology and Embryology. Acting Director San Diego Marine Biological Station. ALICE ROBERTSON, Ph.D., Assistant in Zoology. CALVIN OLIN ESTERLY, M.A., Assistant in Zoology. The Marine Biological Survey that has been carried on during the last five years on the coast of Southern California by the Department of Zoology will be continued with broadened scope and increased facilities in the new laboratory at La Jolla, near San Diego. While, as heretofore, the whole time and effort of the staff of the laboratory will have to be devoted to research, a limited number of students sufficiently advanced to be able to work under the guidance of the investigators to the advantage of both themselves and their directors will be gladly admitted. The station will be open from June 11 to August 15. Applications for admission to its privileges for the whole or a part of the season should be sent as early as possible to Professor Charles A. Kofoid, Berkeley, California. Graduate students who are qualified for admission to candidacy for a higher degree in the University may, with the approval of the Professor of Zoology, have the time spent at work in the laboratory count as University residence for such degree. PHYSIOLOGY. SAMUEL STEEN MAXWELL, M.S., Ph.D., Instructor in Physiology. 1. Elementary Physiology. Dr. MAXWELL. Lectures and discussions on elementary physiology and selected topics in personal and public hygiene. 1 unit. Tu Th, 9. The Rudolph Spreckels Physiological Laboratory. 2. Laboratory Methods in Elementary Physiology. A laboratory fee of $2.50 is required. Dr. MAXWELL. This course is primarily intended for teachers. In connection with the laboratory work there will be informal discussions on the purpose and scope of the teaching of physiology in secondary schools, and the employment of simple and inexpensive apparatus. The number of students will be limited and preference will be given to applicants who are teachers. Credit may be obtained for matriculation subject 12f by passing a satisfactory examination at the end of this course. M W F, 2-4. The Rudolph Spreckels Physiological Laboratory. GEOLOGY. GEORGE DAVIS LOUDERBACK, Ph.D., Professor of Geology and Mineralogy, University of Nevada. 1. Dynamical and Structural Geology. Professor LOUDERBACK. An elementary exposition of the chief geologic processes and their results, fully illustrated with lantern slides, specimens, and models, and including several field trips into the Berkeley hills or more distant excursions as can be arranged. 2 units. This course is intended for beginners and is open to all who attend the Summer Session. M Tu W Th F, 1. 22 South Hall. 2. Mountains. Professor LOUDERBACK. A discussion of the origin of mountain masses and their resulting structures, and an outline history of the major mountain ranges and groups in the United States. Illustrated lectures. A preliminary knowledge of elementary geology is desirable. 1 unit. M W F, 2. 22 South Hall. 3. Physical Geological History of California. Professor LOUDERBACK. A brief outline of the geological history of the changes in geography, of sedimentation, volcanic activity, and the major earth movements in California and bordering states. Illustrated lectures.

Summer Classes in Topographical and Railroad Surveying.-Civil Engineering 3A and Civil Engineering 3B. A camp will be established on the coast a short distance from Santa Cruz, where, from May 18 to June 14, inclusive, instruction will be given in the practical methods of making topographical and railroad surveys. The topographic survey will embrace determination of latitude and time, base-line measurement, triangulation, traversing, stadia work and map-making from field notes, together with plane table mapping and problems illustrative of general land and mine surveys. The railroad survey will consist of reconnaissance, preliminary and locative surveys and the making of all maps, profiles and estimates necessary for the letting of a contract for the construction of a short railroad. The class will assemble at the camp on Thursday, May 17. Assistant Professor Edward N. Prouty, a corps of four instructors and a surgeon and physician will be in charge of the camp and school. The fee for the course will be $10. The total expenses for transportation both ways and for board and lodging will be about twenty dollars more. SANITARY SCIENCE.
