Many of the latter have been made by students and members of 125 Indiana University the Department. Tlie Zittel charts in partieuhu are of great use in pale-ontology and historical geology. This series is being extended by the addi-tion of charts and a series of lantern slides to illustrate the modern pale-obiological side of paleontology.

The plaster models represent topographic types and regionsof peculiar or characteristic structure, such as the Appalachian structureof Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The whole range of geology is illustratedby a large and rapidly increasing collection of lantern slides. A series 126 Departments of Liberal Arts now in preparation is designed to illustrate Indiana geology and physicalgeography. The general policy of the Department of Zoology is to give students 15.
