An important aid to this workwas the recent acquisition by the University of a tract of about 180 acresof primitive woodland, containing numerous dry and wet caves and anunderground stream which can be traversed for over a mile. The situationis ideal for transplanting cave animals into the light and epigean formsinto the dark. Six papers on this subject have been published, and another.

The cut iUustrates a method in histology. one on the eyes of the Cuban blind fishes is being prepared by ProfessorC. H. Eigenmann, Avith the aid of a grant from the Carnegie Institution.(d) The Department has begun a series of experiments to test certainfeatures of Mendels law of heredity. 136 Departments of Liberal Arts The Department of Botany lias three laboratories, devoted respectively 16.
