For Undergraduates.

Botany B1: In this course a study is first made of the essential
factors of plant structure; this is followed by a brief survey of the
vegetable kingdom, beginning with the algæ and ending with the
seed-plants. As each group is discussed in the lectures, as many representative
members as practicable will be studied in the laboratory,
including where possible the important phases of the life-history.
The principles of classification will be considered and illustrated, and
as far as possible applied in connection with the forms studied.

The first term of this course deals largely with the forms of
plant life that are of importance in the management of water supplies,
and is arranged with a view to the needs of students in Sanitary
Engineering. The class is limited for the present to thirty members.
