The N. H. excursions which are so numerous in the fall and spring of each year, form a very valuable part of the work that is done by students of Natural History. These excursions concern a very large number of men in college, and, as spring is almost if not quite upon us, it can hardly be out of place to call attention to them. The value of the practical study of nature, of what is commonly called the "field work," and the advantage of the intimate association with an instructor, are by no means small. And when the real pleasure and profit that are derived from the vigorous walks across country are taken into account, courses in Natural History seem to possess an attraction that does not belong to the courses in other departments. It is enough for us to say that we believe that an afternoon spent in the experiences of a N. H. excursion, is profitably and pleasantly spent.
