The Natural History Department
OF
DENISON UNIVERSITY.
The work in Natural History is distributed as follows:
I. In Biology. The preparation assumed in such as is usually
afforded in high and preparatory schools, viz: An elementary term
in Human Physiology and Hygene and some preparatory work in Bot-
any. In the Sophomore year the winter term is devoted to Compara-
tive and Human Anatomy and Physiology. The genesis of organs
and comparative (vertebrate) morphology is discussed as far as time
permits. The hygenic applications of physiology are briefly presented
but the physiology of the nervous system and comparative Psychology
are relegated to the elective term of the Junior year. An
amount of time equivalent to an hour per week is devoted to dissec-
tion and other laboratory practice.
In the following term elementary Botany is studied. The time
is largely occupied with the study of phenogams and higher crypto-
gams. Field-work and plant-analysis supplemented by some labora-
tory practice in structural Botany accompany the use of the text book.
During the Junior year one term is given to Structural Botany and
the study of the lower groups, including Algae and Fungi. A part of
the term is occupied with Plant Physiology. Three-fifths the time is
devoted to the laboratory work. The class construct simple appara-
tus and conduct independently experiments in physiology.
A term in Zoology follows, and is occupied chiefly with the study
of invertebrates. Begining with the cell and monocellular organism,
types of each class are studied in the laboratory. In this way the de-
velopement of the vertebrate type is traced. The proportion of time
devoted to lecture and laboratory work is as in the previous^term.
An elective term in Zoology affords opportunity^ for workjn His-
tology and special study in particular lines, It is intended to confine
Digitized by
GoogI(
study very largely to the vertebrate type and an exhaustive study of
one organism or system is advised. The work is supplemented by a
short course in comparative psychology on the basis of Wundt and
Lotze.
Geology and Mineralogy.
In the spring term of the Sophomore year opportunity is offered
scientific students to study mineralogy. The work is largely confined
to the laboratory, and embraces blow- pipe analysis and the elements
of crystallography. Some attention is given to economic mineralogy
but assaying, etc. , are considered to belong with the chemical depart-
ment.
The Seniors study Dynamical and Historical Geology in the fall
term using Le Conte's text book, supplemented by lectures on the sim-
pler facts of structural Geology and extended tours to interesting lo-
calities.
In the winter term a course in Applied and General Geology
varies with the exigencies arising. The course this year embraces the
study of lithology, and the application of geology to the arts. Strati-
fied rocks are studied with reference their macroscopic peculiarities and
economic application. Metamorphic and igneous species are then
studied by means of thin sections and the polarizing miscroscope. At
other times paleontology is substituted.
OUTFIT AND APPARATUS.
For Botany an herbarium (to which additions have been received
from Minnesota during the past year and a large collection is promised
by Mr. Foerste) affords the needed illustrative material. A good set
of compound microscopes with cameras, dissecting apparatus,
staining and other reagents have quite recendy been secured.
Aquaria and a collection of conservatory plants will soon be provided,
while the apparatus needed in vegetable physiology will be construct-
ed by the students.
The Zoological laboratory is supplied with approved microtomes,
and hardening, staining and conservative fluids, injecting apparatus, etc.
We at present lack the costly apparatus for physiological investigation
and records but it is hoped that this need may be soon supplied.
Physiology is illustrated by prepared skeletons, casts, microscopic
slides, etc. , but much more is needed. The instructor will soon have
ready a large suite of specimens illustrating comparative anatomy.
The cabinet, though small, is rapidly augmenting, having more than
doubled in effectiveness during the year past.

GoogI(
In Geology charts and illustrative material are of a good quality,
but requiring many additions. The supply of type minerals and
rocks has been materially increased. A lithological lathe and polariz-
ing microscope of modern construction as well as over one hundred
typical rock sections have been secured. Apparatus for applying
micro-chemical tests is also supplied.
Although much has been done, there are many wants unsupplied.
The room is much too limited and two additional appartments could be
at once employed. The cabinets in all departments need great addi-
tions to make them adequate for purposes of illustration. To this
end friends are earnestly solicited to send to the professor in charge
specimens of any and all natural objects from various parts of the
state. No animal or stone is so common (if perfect in its way) as to
be useless. Contributions in money will be carefully expended to the
same end in securing exotic specimens.

THE TWENTIETH YEAR 1
THE AMERICAN NATURALIST;
A Popular Illustrated Magazine of Natural History and Travel.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR i8S6. VOLUME XX.
This journal of popular Natural Science is published by Messrs. McCalla &
Stavely, Philadelphia, Pa., under the editorial management of Dr. A. S. Pack-
ard, and Prof. E. D. Cope, with the assistance of eminent men of science. The
typographical dress and illustrations which have heretofore given character to this
magazine will be sustained, and it will be of a thoroughly popular nature, so as to
interest the general reader as well as the young naturalist. It will continue to be
a journal of science-education and for the use of science teachers
The eighteenth and nineteenth volumes were double the size of the earlier
volumes ; and for variety, interest and freshness of scientific news, it is claimed
that the Naturalist is without a rival.
Each number of the Naturalist contains carefully written original articles
on various scientific subjects, and, in addition, twelve departments — Recent Litera-
ture^ Geography and Travels, Geology and Paleontology, Mineralogy , Botany, Ento-
mology, Zoology, Embryology, Physiology, Psychology, Anthropology, and Microscopy.
The department of Botany is edited by Prof. C. E. Bessy, that of Microscopy is
edited by Prof. C. O Whitman, that of Mineralogy is edited by Dr Geo. H.
Williams, and that of Physiology by Prof. Henry Sewell, while the . depart-
ment of Geography and Travels is edited by W. N. Lockington. Prof. Otis T.
Mason will continue his monthly summaries of Anthropological News, and will
edit the department of Anthropology. We added this year a department of Em-
bryology, under one of our ablest investigators, Mr. Jno. A Ryder, of the Smith-
sonian Institution. Arrangements have been made to report the Proceedings of
Scientific Societies with promptness. Particular attention will be given to micro-
scopical and historical discoveries, methods of microscopical research, new instru-
ments, methods of cutting and staining sections, etc. The series of illustrated
monographs on North American fossil vertebrates, by Prof Cope, witl be continued.
The attention of publishers and teachers is called to the critical notices of
standard scientific: books, to which especial attention has been given the past year,
and will be given during the ensuing year.-
Original articles or notices by over one hundred of our leading naturalists have
appeared in the volumes for 1881, 18S2, 1883, 18S4 and 1885, among whom are
