Studies from the Zoological Laboratory: The University of Nebraska

During the summer of 1893 the Michigan Fish Commission entered upon a biological study of the Great Lakes by maintaining a party on Lake St. Clair. In the report of that two months, written by the director of the laboratory, Professor J. E. Reighard, are given in full the reasons which led to the inception of the undertaking and the aims which its promoters held in view.

The subject of agriculture has received for many years the closest attention of scientific workers. Not only the character of the different products, their food value for different uses and in connection with the raising of different kinds of stock ; but also the value of the soil, the use of each element in it, the exact relation of each individual particle in the entire chain of biological relations from the unorganized matter to the saleable beef or pork, has received from the experiment stations of the country the most careful study. Every one of the pests, of the enemies …

Some notes were made at the time, and then, on account of pressure in other directions, laid aside to await opportunity for further study. This winter I received a second specimen which at once recalled the first, and on comparison was seen to be identical with it. A series of …
