Title: PreliminaryReportof the Proceedings of the Mt. LakeAnimalBehavior Society'sFirst AnnualEchoStudy(PRPMLABSFAES) Presented by: Studentsof AnimalBehavior,Zool. 585. Abstract: Mt. Lakeis manythings to manypeople. hJefeel that the best wayof expressing whatit is to this yearsAnimalBehaviorclass is to undertakea formal study and prlsent a paper,yes a paper (ilris.particular proceeding hls becbme recognizba is-the uhibue identi{.y!nqcharacteristic,albeit trademarlof the Behaviorists) to be filed awayin the Archivesof the Annalsof the l,lt.
