through the year. A study of representative groups which illustrate
the line of evolution of green plants. Especial attention will be given
to tracing the development and homologies of sporogenous, repro
ductive and embryological organs, with discussions of the principal
plant phyla. Permanent microscopic preparations will be made repre
senting series in the liverworts, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and
angiosperms. In the Fall term the chief attention will be given to
the Bryophyta, the winter will be devoted Pterido-
principally to the
phyta, followed by the gymnosperms and angiosperms in the spring.
The course is continuous, and because of the logical sequence of the
subjects, must be taken in the order presented. Lectures. Th., 11.
Laboratory work preferably Monday and Wednesday afternoons.
