There will be no class or laboratory Monday, 27 November 2000.  Students must utilize the plants in Fischer Greenhouse/Laboratory (in the second unit on the left, first bench), books from the library, and the references in Fischer Greenhouse on top of the microwave (these texts are to be used in the greenhouse only, not to be removed).  Students must complete one of the following sheets for each fern that has an asterisk on the fern list.  These sheets are due in lecture on Wednesday, 29 November 2000 and will count as that week's quiz..
