The botanical laboratory is not wci- out its original investigators. Ever since college opened in the fail series of experiments and investigations have been carried on steadily and now each of the researches has his or her work well under way. The unicellular forms are being ex- perimented with by Miss Snow who is filling the vacancy caused by the illness of Miss Langdon of the corps of instructors in the hotaleialabora- tory. Miss Snow studied last year tnder Prof. Klebs in Basel, Switzer- land, where she also carried on some original research along the lines that she is now following. The onicelluiar. fortes are to be described according to their development. Upon investi- gation some prove to be phases in the higher forms of plant life while others are constant it their unicelled sate. The Object of Miss Snow's investiga- tion is to fitd the conditiotstutnte wlhich the higher forms exist in thi unicellular state anti in the same cote- nection to study the various effects of nourishment, tenperature and light on these organs in their appearance and increase. The past work along these lines has not been accurate because the mater- ial experimented with has been noe or 'less impure. But in te present work cultivation has been carried on with absolutely pure materia. Al- ready many isolated 'forms have been reached upon but their full develop- ment has not been traced. The Investigation of these forms has been carried on very little in ihe pautt and at present, so far as is known, Miss Snow is the only person in the United States making any such itves- tigation. In fact, before Prof. lebs took up the work the unicellular forms had no place in plant organization. The equipment in the Michigan lalbor- atory for this work, Miss Suow has found to be better than that lit Europe The library here is also very com- plete in this line. Mr. Timber'lake, who began his re- search under Prof. Harper at Lake Forest University last year, is study- ing the structure of the cell plate. At present he is at work upon a problemi in Karyokinesis or i other words the series of changes gone through by the nucleus in its indirect cel-divisiot. This problem is but partly finished and so no results are as yet fortheow- ing. -Mr. Livingston is making a stu'dy of Algae with especial reference to the influence of external conditions upon their reproduction, vegetable grmth and behavior.
