 EY. 492.-Advanced Economic Entomology. 2 hours, and 2 hours labora-
tory. 3 credits.
 An advanced study of economic entomology which considers in detail the biology,
life history, and control of the major insect species affecting the economic plants and
animals of Florida. Particular stress is placed upon the recognition of the most economic
species and their damage; together with a study of the various modern insecticidal
chemicals used in their control, and methods of applying such chemicals. Textbook,
Destructive and Useful Insects, by Metcalf and Flint.
 EY. 494.-Insecticidal Formulations. 1 hour, and 3 hours laboratory. 2
credits. Prerequisites: EY. 201, or EY. 203, or EY. 207 and EY. 405. Offered
2.
 A study of the source and cost of raw materials. Development of formulae, and
the preparation of large batch quantities on laboratory and pilot plant scale. The
formulation of the raw materials into wettable powders, solutions, emulsions, aerosols,
and dusts. The course includes consideration of the laws governing manufacture, label-
ing and sale of insecticides.

 GRADUATE COURSES
 Prerequisite: A Bachelor of Science degree or its equivalent. The student should
have thirty semester hours in the biological sciences, with twelve or more hours in the
field of Entomology. Should he be deficient in this respect, the student will be expected
to fulfill these requirements during the time that he is pursuing work that will lead to
the advanced degree. This work will be taken as foundation work with no graduate
credit.
 EY. 501.-Methods of Research in Entomology. 3 hours. 3 credits. Of-
fered 1, 2, 3.
 Special laboratory, insectary and field methods in research dealing with the several
phases of entomology. A study of the leading research problems of the state and nation,
with careful consideration of the more complicated ones. Research problem required.
 EY. 503.-Problems in Entomology. 4-8 hours. 2-4 credits. Offered 1, 2,
3.
 A problem for study which may be selected in any field of entomological specializa-
tion; including Histology, Morphology, Physiology, Taxonomy, Embryology, Biological
Control, Ecology, Toxicology, Plant Quarantine, Commercial Entomology, Life History
and Habits, Biology, and Medical and Veterinary Entomology.
 EY. 507.-Advanced Insect Taxonomy. 1 hour, and 6 hours laboratory.
3 credits. Prerequisites: EY. 408, EY. 460, and EY. 508. Offered 2.
 An advanced study of systematic entomology, including the scope of subject, princi-
ples, grouping of species, basis of systematic entomology, preparation of material, draw-
ing and photographing material, description of insects, rules of nomenclature, and the
various systems of classification.

requisites: 24 hours of entomology. Offered 1, 2, 3.
